Missing texture applied, even when it has a correct path

[frosty coral]

Well, im making a texture pack to get some cool weapons, but even when im using the correct path, even trying to modify the .json file, it just appears as a black model, with a pink dot in one corner. Tried to change the path again, again..... a-again. So is there anything I can do?

FAQ

Java: 1.19.3 Textures

General Information:
The game creates a "texture atlas" (combination of all textures into one file) for block/item models.
For performance reasons as of Java 1.19.3 the game by default only loads textures from within textures/item and textures/block (and any folders within those two folders) into that atlas instead of reading through every model for the relevant textures.

_________________________

Making the game load from custom directories
If you want the game to add textures from other directories (that are still somewhere within the "textures" folder) to that atlas you will need to create a blocks.json file in YourPack/assets/minecraft/atlases:

Example blocks.json

{
    "sources": [
        {
            "type": "directory",
            "source": "custom",
            "prefix": "custom/"
        }
    ]
}```
This example would make the game add _all_ textures that are within `textures/custom` to the atlas. This **even** applies to images that are not used by your models, so keep your pack clean for better performance and smaller size!.

**_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_**

**Additional/more specific information**:
If you have several custom directories you can add several json objects in the "sources" list/array.
blocks.json's of different packs combine btw, so you don't need to worry that one pack will stop another pack from loading their textures.

Here is also an example pack from a Minecraft dev (boq) with some more specific examples (like only using the face part of the default pig texture instead of loading all entity textures or the whole pig texture): <https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/593812273164976166/1042452631743901756/sprites.zip>

basically move it to the block folder

and update the model to not be blocks but block

[frosty coral]

What do you mean by that? Like how am I meant to structure the folders, as thats maybe been the whole problem.

[south cargo]

your texture is in the blocks folder

delete the blocks folder and move the texture to the block folder

then change this to say block instead of blocks

[frosty coral]

yeah, and im meant to put the texture into "textures/block"?

[south cargo]

yes

[frosty coral]

oh thank you
