How can I get the cosmetic I made in game?

[barren nebula]

I made a model and I’ve got all the files, but how can I get it in game?

[gleaming shoal]

Ok so

Watch a YouTube tutorial

Ez

[barren nebula]

You can just say it?

[hollow crown]

When you say "cosmetic" what do you mean exactly? Just an item model?
If yes, type !faq export-vanilla-java-model
If no please specify more.

[barren nebula]

!faq export-vanilla-java-model

[storm sparrow]

(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 This only affects whether your pack is shown as "outdated" ingame or not.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)

The model I made

With the textures yeah

[hollow crown]

k, then what the bot said (assuming you are using the downloaded version of Blockbench)

[barren nebula]

Yes

Is there any commands so I can give them? So I can sell it in my minecraft shop so people can buy it?

[barren nebula]

@hollow crown i must be something wrong or something but my model won't appear in game?

[hollow crown]

idk, really depends on what you use and how they want it (which I won't know)

[hollow crown]

what did you name your .json model and where in your pack is it?

[barren nebula]

carved_pumpkin.json

[hollow crown]

you have a capital i in your folder name (You have Item, but it should be item)

[barren nebula]

uhm

I think it shouldn't be like that

@hollow crown
I fixed up the code, but it still doesn't work. It just shows like that?

[hollow crown]

do any of your files or other folders contain capital letters? (and/or spaces?)

[barren nebula]

nope

[hollow crown]

open your carved_pumpkin.json in a text editor and show the first ~10 lines of text

[barren nebula]

and this is my hat.json

@hollow crown ?

[hollow crown]

where in your pack is the texture?

[hollow crown]

also, replace the "parent" AND the "textures" section (not just the two lines, the whole sections btw.) with
"parent": "block/carved_pumpkin",
if you want your normal carved pumpkin to not look broken

[barren nebula]

like that?

[hollow crown]

no

you replace that whole section up there with that one line

the parent already defines the textures, so you don't the textures section in your item model too

[barren nebula]

?

[hollow crown]

remove that } after the "parent" line (keep the , though)

[barren nebula]

still doesn't work

[hollow crown]

well, you haven't answered that yet

[barren nebula]

oh

[hollow crown]

the other thing was just to fix your normal carved pumpkin, not your custom model

[hollow crown]

k, that looks fine

just in case, can you sedn the hat.png in here?

[hollow crown]

did you just drag and drop this into Discord or did you do it in some other way?
cause it says image.png for me

[barren nebula]

i clicked on it

and copied

there

@hollow crown

[hollow crown]

hmm, that looks fine 🤔

yeah, I don't see a reason why that wouldn't load

any client mods?

[barren nebula]

i use lunar client

[hollow crown]

try on the default client just in case and enable the output log

!faq output-log

[storm sparrow]

The output log will show you errors related to resource packs in Minecraft: Java Edition. Here is how you can enable it: https://i.imgur.com/WbQZa6k.png
(PS: Optifine likes to hide vanilla errors/warnings for some weird reason, so always load the game up without it if you don't need it for your pack to work!)
If you don't understand the errors/warnings feel free to show and ask about them (in a help channel).

[barren nebula]

lemme try normal mc

[barren nebula]

aight

[barren nebula]

want me to send it here?

@hollow crown

[hollow crown]

do you have the same pack several times?

cause that sounds like what it would throw before you edited carved_pumpkin.json

[barren nebula]

same pack?

[hollow crown]

like copies of the pack or something like that

[barren nebula]

no

[hollow crown]

cause that error/warning message would appear with this carved_pumpkin.json, not with the one you have now

[barren nebula]

i don't think so

i just have those

[hollow crown]

you are editing your files on Desktop or OneDrive folder, but the game doesn't load packs from there

[barren nebula]

this looks good?

[hollow crown]

yes

[barren nebula]

this too?

[hollow crown]

yep

[barren nebula]

now it ain't appearing in game

still get this

the pumkin blur worked

[hollow crown]

now it says it has a problem with loading a texture "hat/hat", but you didn' specify that in carved_pumpkin, have you 🤔 ?

[hollow crown]

can you show your hat.json again (the one directly in your resource pack)

[hollow crown]

weird

can you zip and send your resource pack?

[hollow crown]

That's what it says in your custom model (hat.json) for me

[barren nebula]

And it is

hat

[barren nebula]

wut

[barren nebula]

try to fix that and send it over

[hollow crown]

close all your open files in VSCode, close VSCode, then open it again and see if it still says your version

[barren nebula]

it does

[barren nebula]

nope

[hollow crown]

what "nope"?

[barren nebula]

the blur works

but it doesn't load the model

[hollow crown]

has the warning changed?

or does it still say hat/hat?

[barren nebula]

i'm just relaunching mc real quick

[barren nebula]

No warning anymore

still won't work tho'

[barren nebula]

@hollow crown do u know how i can fix it or?

[hollow crown]

idk why it doesn't work for you
