echo gorge
#

are you using spaces or underscores

limber zealot
#

nop

#

only letters and numbers

#

no caps all lowercase

humble stream
limber zealot
#

ohhhhhh

#

thx

#

but now the problem is its in documents in files but i cant rename the whole documents section i dont think

humble stream
#

so if your pack is in the Documents folder that's fine
if the texture is just randomly inside your Documents folder without being inside a pack(-like folder structure) then it won't work

limber zealot
#

the textures are in a folder in documents but the folder is lowercase and it says the problem is 'D'

humble stream
#

yeah, the D of Documents

#

cause currently it thinks Documents is part of your pack because you loaded textures from something that isn't a pack

FAQ
Java: Textures Folder

Jokes aside, textures need to be anywhere inside the "YourPack/assets/minecraft/textures" folder inside your pack. If you are in 1.19.3 or newer they need to be in textures/item or textures/block.

If you are using the downloaded version of Blockbench, make sure you also load the textures from the correct location into Blockbench (or save textures from BB directly there), or the relative texture path inside the model will break.

If you are using the web version you need to rightclick every texture and specify the folder path (after "textures") and name of every texture manually instead.

If you wanna use custom subfolders in 1.19.3 or newer use !faq java-1.19.3-textures

ohhhh

limber zealot
humble stream
#

no

limber zealot
#

hmm

humble stream
#

make a proper pack

#

it's just 3 folders more than what you just suggested

limber zealot
#

how do i do that im not very smart with file stuff

humble stream
#

are you asking how to make a folder?

limber zealot
#

nono

#

ik how to do that

#

but basically how would i make it work

#

because you said a folder wouldnt work

humble stream
humble stream
#

because the game and Blockbench both expect a certain folder structure.

YourPack/assets/minecraft/textures/item
(YourPack would be whatever you name your pack)

limber zealot
humble stream
#

yes, a folder named minecraft
not the same as .minecraft

limber zealot
#

o

#

but basically mine is a bit different

humble stream
limber zealot
#

ohhh

#

would Yourpack be capital Y?

#

or does that part not matter

#

like this?

limber zealot
#

but the rest is good?

humble stream
#

once you move them into each other in the right order, yes

limber zealot
#

ah so its just like folder in a folder in a folder etc etc?

humble stream
#

yes

limber zealot
#

with nothing else?

limber zealot
humble stream
#

the model would go somewhere into assets/minecraft/models, but yeah, the textures look fine

limber zealot
#

so model goes outside the folder the textures are in?

humble stream
#

the models folder goes into the minecraft folder (so after you made the models folder you should see it and the textures folder at the same time)

limber zealot
#

so models folder next to textures folder in minecraft

humble stream
#

yes

#

and then usually an "item" or a "block" folder, depending on what you plan to replace and how you plan to use your model ingame

limber zealot
#

o

#

ok i put the model into the models folder thats in minecraft then the textures themselves in textures which is in minecraft inside textures is the item folder and inside item folder is the actual textures

#

that works right?

#

hmm

#

ok it says it still is linked to documents because still says the same thing

humble stream
# limber zealot

Have you relinked the textures?
Rightclick the texture in BB, then click "Change File" and load it from that new location
Repeat that for every texture.

#

alternatively open the .json in a text editor, then replace all mentions of Documents/ with item/doubleeros/ in that textures section near the beginning of the text

limber zealot
#

uhh

#

so

#

odd thing

#

o wait nvm

#

uhhh

#

sooooo

#

@humble stream it worked but kinda- didnt? in a way

humble stream
#

in what way?

limber zealot
#

after i reloaded it

humble stream
#

don't add the .png part in the texture paths

limber zealot
#

?

humble stream
#

can you open your .json in a text editor and show the first few lines of text?

limber zealot
#

o wait u wanted first few lines

humble stream
#

well, now it looks like you removed all textures instead of changing the texture paths

#

Except for the string texture, which apparently was in the Downloads folder at the time you loade it in?

limber zealot
#

huh
