What does "wont work" mean exactly here?
Errror model? No texture? Default item? Etc.

[sage current]

after i followed the tutorial the item has no texture so it is an purple and black square and i dont know how i can get the model and the texture into the game

[proud fog]

purple and black square or purple and black cube?

[sage current]

it looks like this

[sage current]

.

[proud fog]

that usually happens if you tell the game to generate a model from a texture but it cannot find/load the texture

[sage current]

so that means the game cant load my texture or?

model*

[proud fog]

it means the game is being told to load a texture as model, not a custom model

[sage current]

how can i change that

[proud fog]

show your .yml file

[sage current]

can we go into an dc

[proud fog]

no, I just need to see the .yml file to see what you have specified for it to load

either the file itself or a screenshot of the text in it (or copy/paste the text in here)

[proud fog]

generate: true tells the game to just make a thick texture model from item/my_sword

[sage current]

should it be false?

[proud fog]

your texture here is also just called "sword", not "my_sword"
also, you haven't specified a model, hence why it doesn't load a model

[sage current]

i changed the name in the plugin

[proud fog]

you need to change generate to false and replace the textures list with this (assuming your model is item/my_sword.json)
model_path: item/my_sword

[sage current]

like this?

[proud fog]

yes

[sage current]

and then save it and reload all

[proud fog]

I'd assume so

and if the model is loading, but the texture isn't, then read this:
https://itemsadder.devs.beer/plugin-usage/adding-content/item-properties/resource#my-textures-are-not-working

[sage current]

its still prple and black cube

[proud fog]

where in your contents folder is the model?

[proud fog]

cube or square?

[sage current]

i thing square

[sage current]

it still like here

[proud fog]

then your changes weren't applied

[proud fog]

or the pack hasn't been reloaded properly yet

[sage current]

but that is right?

thats the model as a .json

and thats the texture

[proud fog]

again, if you see a square your changes weren't applied yet
There is no point looking at the model or textures for now until it either is a cube or the sword model

[sage current]

do you how i can fix it?

[proud fog]

have you reloaded the server and rejoined?

[sage current]

im reloading the server real quick

[proud fog]

also, not sure if /iazip works on online servers too 🤔
(it's something they mentioned here https://itemsadder.devs.beer/plugin-usage/resourcepack-hosting/tips-for-fastest-usage, but they also mention testing locally first before testing on an online server)

[sage current]

so what should i do?

thats what comes when i do /iazip

[proud fog]

what it says on there I guess?
I don't have much experience with the process of using itemsadder either (just know the basics of adding a model/texture and what problems item/block models can have in general)
