CustomModelData is the vanilla way to add more item models (kinda like CIT, but limited to one specific NBT tag and that NBT tag can only be changed via commands)
It has nothing to do with how big your model is.

If you want a bigger model then either make your model bigger or adjust its display settings accordingly.
iron arrow
where can the display settings be adjusted?
night spire
When you said "custom sword item", is that an actual model? Or is it just a texture swap?
iron arrow
it's a texture swap
night spire
K, then now you need to make it a model swap, but the .json model itself can literally just be this:
{
"parent": "item/handheld"
"textures": {
"layer0":"./your_texture"
}
}```
and in your .properties instead of textures= you write model=After that you load that .json file into Blockbench click on the "Display" text in the top right and then you can adjust the display settings for different displays (Head, Hands, etc) in the left section.

alright thanks
@night spire sorry for bothering again, i got it to work in some way, but now normal sword item without the custom name does not have a texture, what could it be caused by?
night spire
Have you edited diamond_sword.json (or whatever sword it is) in models/item in some way 🤔 ?
iron arrow
yes
night spire
for what reason have you edited it?
iron arrow
to change the display values
night spire
because you want the normal diamond sword to look bigger?
or because you wanted your custom one to look bigger?
iron arrow
the custom one, i wanted the normal one to stay untouched
night spire
then don't edit diamond_sword.json
iron arrow
then, how do you do it?
night spire
After that you load that .json file into Blockbench click on the "Display" text ...
you only do the whole thing I mentioned here for your custom one
iron arrow
that's how the netherite_sword.json looks, "the_blade" is the custom texture, and somehow it works with the custom item, but messess up the normal one
am i supposed to do it in some other way?
night spire
yes, that should be your custom model, not netherite_sword.json
iron arrow
the name of it should be the texture or it doesn't matter?
night spire
move that in the same folder as your .properties file, rename it to whatever you want, then adjust that face in the properties file as well
also, I wouldn't suggest having > in the name of a file

Files/Folders nor reference to them are allowed to contain capital letters nor spaces.
Valid symobls are: a-z (lowercase only!) 0-9 / . _ and -
When changing a file's/folder's name, keep in mind that you also need to update all references (texture path in models, model paths in custom_model_data predicates etc.)
Disclaimer: Optifine allows those characters but for a vanilla client the model will either be the error cube or it might even crash their game (depending on their specs).
iron arrow
also, I wouldn't suggest having `>` in the name of a file
oh, sorry that's a missclick, might be the reason of some issues
now the normal variant is back, but the custom display values are not applied
night spire
did you do this part?
iron arrow
i did, now the custom texture doesn't work at all
night spire
can you show what you have in your .properties file?
iron arrow
iron arrow
like that?
iron arrow
alright
night spire
or better yet, write `model=./the_blade`
that's assuming you moved what was netherite_sword.json earlier into the same folder as the properties file and renamed it to the_blade.json
