[misty cliff]

if it is a .txt file rename it to get rid of the .txt

[pastel ingot]

ok

how to check

?

sorry

[wooden estuary]

Do you have File Extensions shown in your file explorer?

[pastel ingot]

nope

[wooden estuary]

that would do it. its probably a .txt

[pastel ingot]

how do i change it

[wooden estuary]

uhhh. it depends on the computer type.

its certainly different from when i had windows 10 (11 now)

this is how to do it in windows 11

just check "File name extensions"

[pastel ingot]

ok

its txt

[wooden estuary]

yeah, remove .txt and keep the .mcmeta.

[misty cliff]

right click -> rename -> erase .txt

[pastel ingot]

ok

[wooden estuary]

it should work now. make sure other files don't have the wrong extension.

[pastel ingot]

ok

thx

ill check

ok

it didnt work

[wooden estuary]

hm.

[pastel ingot]

it didnt removed txt

i have windows 10

[wooden estuary]

well, if you can see the file extensions, then renaming it should also rename the .txt
note that the warning it pops up should be ignored, so just press ok.

[pastel ingot]

ok thx

i found it

[wooden estuary]

nice.

[pastel ingot]

you were a real help

thx

[wooden estuary]

np 👍

[pastel ingot]

ill see if it will work

[wooden estuary]

if it doesn't, check other files like .json files for an unwanted .txt

[pastel ingot]

it worked thank you so much

🙂

[wooden estuary]

yay!

just go through the files though, make sure nothing is broken still. it might show up, but missing models (giant blocks of pink and black) and missing textures (same thing, but the silhouette of the model is still visible admist the pink and black)

i really could've worded that better

[pastel ingot]

ok

help

[pastel ingot]

its broken

[wooden estuary]

what is?

if its something ingame, could you send a screenshot?

[pastel ingot]

🥲

im following a video but the teture didnt change

[wooden estuary]

ah, did you reload your pack?

[pastel ingot]

ill try

[wooden estuary]

wait

[pastel ingot]

what

[wooden estuary]

before you do, there is a keybind.

[pastel ingot]

?

[wooden estuary]

f3 + t is how you reload the pack without taking it off

[pastel ingot]

ok

[wooden estuary]

(if you use a laptop that requires it, you may need to hold the "Fn" button before pressing any F# key

[pastel ingot]

didnt work

the chiken is suposed to be a penguin

[wooden estuary]

wait

what do you mean? can i see a screenshot?

[pastel ingot]

?

in game

or what

[misty cliff]

what is your folder set up

[wooden estuary]

did you try to change the model, or just the texture?

[pastel ingot]

no

[misty cliff]

both probably

[pastel ingot]

im following the video

instructions

[wooden estuary]

can you link the video?

[pastel ingot]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdo_E61vVlw&list=PLpjtAMQmETlQf5fA3xo_OczdgfUGUPSPE&index=9&ab_channel=Legitimoose

[wooden estuary]

uh

yeah, do you have optifine and stuff installed?

[pastel ingot]

nope oops

[wooden estuary]

also it seems like the video is quite outdated judging by the comments.

[pastel ingot]

ya

ok

[wooden estuary]

but yeah, custom entity models are something that mods need. (unless an update changed that, but i doubt it.)

*that you need mods for

[pastel ingot]

now what

[misty cliff]

if you have installed optifine (and restarted the game) go check if your penguin works now

[pastel ingot]

ok

it gave me a jar

[wooden estuary]

uh

ok, you need to also download forge.

[misty cliff]

no you dont?

[wooden estuary]

hm?

[misty cliff]

you dont need forge to use optifine

[wooden estuary]

huh thought you did.

[misty cliff]

optifine is in fact best used WITHOUT forge

just double click the jar and follow the instructions

[wooden estuary]

(unless this is just the mod.jar file)

[misty cliff]

the optifine jar is both a forge mod and an installer for vanilla

[wooden estuary]

but again, my knowledge seems to be failing me))

that ☝️ is something i never knew, nice.

sorry for the confusion!

[pastel ingot]

its ok

[wooden estuary]

once optifine is installed, it should work.

but again, outdated tutorial, things might of changed.

[misty cliff]

optifine 1.13 formats work all the way to the current version iirc

and this tutorial is past that so it should work

[wooden estuary]

hopefully

[pastel ingot]

it works

perfecly

[wooden estuary]

Less gooo

[pastel ingot]

yay

🥳

thx again
