Custom item model only works when with NBT tags

[grizzled jay]

Hey, I just was working on a model for a diamond sword using this tutorial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DiwHcW48Qg&t=339s&ab_channel=Vayk

I finished and the texture works, but it doesn't work on all diamond swords like a normal resource pack would. It only works if I add the custom model data tag. Is it possible to make it work on any diamond sword?

If you just want to replace an item completely with your model you just replace the respective item model.
So in your case you just name your model diamond_sword.json and put it in models/item (no custom_model_data etc.)
