making a minecraft item

[hoary gazelle]

That file already is a json file (denoted with the .json extension)

[tough fern]

then what do i do to make it into an item

(Result for "export-vanilla-java-models")
IMPORTANT:
-Any missing folders need to be created if they aren't there yet!
-Do the steps in this exact order!

Step 0: Setup
**-In Blockbench: **
Use the Java Block/Item format. (Check at File > Project... in Blockbench).
If it's not convert it via File > Convert Project. ATTENTION: This can break the model due to format specific restrictions! (see !faq java-rotation and !faq java-sizelimit)

-Setting up your pack:
Create a folder inside Minecraft's resource pack folder (aka "YourPack" for the rest of this guide). It is usually at C:\Users\INSERT_YOUR_PC_USER_HERE\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\resourcepacks. Put this file https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/883449189533638777/899224109869846558/pack.mcmeta in YourPack.
Optionally: Edit it in a text editor and adjust the value of "pack_format" (see https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Pack_format). This only affects whether your pack is shown as "outdated" ingame or not.

Step 1: Saving Textures
Save all your textures first.
To do that either:
-Ctrl+S, or
-click 💾 next to the texture(s), or
-rightclick the texture(s) and click "Save As"
Save them directly within YourPack/assets/minecraft/textures/block/... or /item/....
Reason: If you don't do that or move/rename the files later your model won't find the textures anymore.
(For custom subfolders check !faq java-1.19.3-textures)

Don't use capital letters nor spaces in file/folder names. The model will be invalid ingame!.

Step 2: Exporting the Model
After saving the textures use File > Export > Block/Item export it to YourPack/assets/minecraft/models/item (or /block, but only for placed down blocks.).
Name the file based on the id of the thing you wanna replace (totem_of_undying for a Totem of Undying for example). Check the default pack if you are not sure what the exact name is (see !faq default-pack for more information)

can i screenshare with someone cause i even tried looking at a video and i was getting far until then

[hoary gazelle]

Just follow the steps indicated in the FAQ

[tough fern]

i wish it can be that easy

but unfortunatly im dumb

[tough fern]

i even asked my friends to help and one of them has a minecarft server and couldnt understand it

u dont need to talk in screenshare u can just text please i need help

[hoary gazelle]

What part are you confused on?

[tough fern]

im bad at explaining cant i screenshare

[hoary gazelle]

What step are you confused on?

[tough fern]

the p0art i screenshotted cause its not looking like the other one

[hoary gazelle]

What about it doesn't "look like the other one?"

[hoary gazelle]

And what step of the FAQ are you referring to?

[tough fern]

see how that json file is from file scource

i need to get the other one to look like the other

the yt video didnt explain very well

[hoary gazelle]

Just start from scratch from the FAQ I triggered

[tough fern]

i dont know whats so hard about not being able to screenshare abpout these problems it would make things so much easier

[hoary gazelle]

Yeah because I don't call random strangers

So if you want help, learn to cooperate and provide screenshots and details about what you are struggling with

[tough fern]

i can say the same for u but somehow im the annoying guy

and i did provide screenshots

[hoary gazelle]

I'm the helper, you're the person getting help. If you want help, you need to learn to provide screenshots about what you are stuck on, because I'm not gonna keep trying to get answers out of you.
I, on the other hand, don't understand what's so hard about just reading the following the FAQ like I said 4 times. It's simpler than whatever video you are watching, probably, and it makes it easier to help.

[tough fern]

even my friends couldnt understand the steps to do thi stuff and i asked 4 of them

[hoary gazelle]

Yeah, no, I'm not helping you, because clearly you can't read

[tough fern]

u cant either ur annoying i dont want ur help ill find someone else

[hoary gazelle]

Clearly that's working out for you

[hoary gazelle]

What screenshots?

[tough fern]

the ones i showed earlier about the files

[hoary gazelle]

Well that tells me nothing

First of all, I don't even know which one is which (yours or the video)

[tough fern]

what that tells me is that u staff are under prepared but thats just me

[hoary gazelle]

... Staff? Who do you think you are again?

[pine prawn]

You need to activate Hide extension for known file types in your folder options

[hoary gazelle]

I don't understand how fucking hard it is to just follow the FAQ I triggered. You said it yourself: the video you followed is confusing. So why are you following it? Start from scratch from the FAQ, which is clearly detailed in easy, follow-along steps

But no, you are too stubborn and will keep complaining about how I can't call you (what the fuck?) instead of trying the FAQ and asking if you need help then.

BTW, youtube videos are also outdated these days, whereas that message is up to date

[tough fern]

ok u think what u want as u are the stubborn one im not talking to u as u are incapable of actualluy helping

but sure u keep thinking ur the sane one

[hoary gazelle]

Are you blind

That's literally the most up to date tutorial I sent you on this stuff
