!faq java-1.19.3-textures

[keen sedge]

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>

[dusk fog]

TL;DR move your texture to textures/item and put item/ at the start of the texture reference inside your model

here

[teal sapphire]

@dusk fog so like this

[dusk fog]

no?

the red arrows show exactly where you put it

and why does it say "texture" now instead of "woodensword"?

[teal sapphire]

its the new texture

this?

[dusk fog]

no

[teal sapphire]

wait

[dusk fog]

if you export the texture from Blockbench directly to textures/item and then export the model it will automatically adjust the path btw.
(if you use the downloaded version of Blockbench)

[teal sapphire]

this?

[dusk fog]

still no

[teal sapphire]

sapce

now

[dusk fog]

nope

look exactly at what I wrote

[teal sapphire]

this

[dusk fog]

...

read exactly what I said to add

[teal sapphire]

i did

[dusk fog]

you didn't

what I said: item/
what you did: /item

[teal sapphire]

@dusk fog like this

[dusk fog]

well, it would be either item/woodenstick or item/texture, not both

cause you only have 1 texture (afaik)

[teal sapphire]

now?

[dusk fog]

...

you got to be trolling at this point

[teal sapphire]

no im not i swear im just dumb and dont understand what your telling me to do you said change on of them so i did

[dusk fog]

I said you should have one of two things, and you chose the non-existent option 3 somehow

I tell you to use A or B and you choose C

that's why I'm saying you got to be trolling

[teal sapphire]

oh

so you want me to change it back

?

[dusk fog]

if your texture is (in) textures/item/woodenstick.png then you just write "item/woodenstick"

[teal sapphire]

oh

so like this

[cerulean cape]

Are you serious?

[teal sapphire]

dude i am so stupid im sorry

[cerulean cape]

Come back to this when you've gotten some sleep, we won't help you like this

Because this is just reading basic instructions at this point

[teal sapphire]

i just woke up 💀

[cerulean cape]

Well do something and come back. Either way, this is a pretty big waste of time

[teal sapphire]

what did i do wrong in the code anyways?

i put texture/item/texture like he said

[obsidian island]

at no point did he tell you to put that

[teal sapphire]

ok then ill change it back

[obsidian island]

no, change it to what he told you to put

[dusk fog]

I said this

[teal sapphire]

textures/item/woodenstick.png

so this

[dusk fog]

look at the red underlined text

[dusk fog]

yes

[cerulean cape]

https://tenor.com/view/bravo-applause-round-of-standing-gif-20790999

[teal sapphire]

lol

im so dumb

it still didnt work

[dusk fog]

where in your pack is the texture exactly? (file path)

[teal sapphire]

assets\minecraft\texture\item

[cerulean cape]

And it's called woodenstick.png?

[teal sapphire]

no

its called texture.png

[dusk fog]

rename it to woodenstick

[teal sapphire]

ok

i did

[dusk fog]

is the folder called "texture" or "textures" btw.?

[teal sapphire]

yeah

[cerulean cape]

Which one..

[dusk fog]

that was an "A or B" question, not a yes/no question

[teal sapphire]

its called texture

[dusk fog]

needs to be called textures

[teal sapphire]

k

should i try and see if it works now

[cerulean cape]

After renaming the folder and the texture name, yes

[teal sapphire]

ok

it didnt work i jsut reloaded it

[teal sapphire]

the model is a prototype

[obsidian island]

screenshot the model json file

screenshot the texture in the folder

[obsidian island]

screenshot inside the file

[dusk fog]

just making sure: you remembered to save the changes, right?
(if the file name has a circle next to it it has unsaved changes)

[obsidian island]

and screenshot the WHOLE folder view

[teal sapphire]

and thats the whole thing

[obsidian island]

and of the texture too

[dusk fog]

k, that looks correct
can you send your woodenstick.json in here?

[dusk fog]

hmm, don't see a reason why that wouldn't load the texture 🤔

can you send your png too just in case something is wrong with it?

[obsidian island]

check the output log

[teal sapphire]

its called woodenstick.png

[dusk fog]

don't see anything wrong with the texture either

as Ewan said, try seeing if the output log throws errors/warnings

!faq output-log

[keen sedge]

FAQ

Java: Output Log

The output log will show you errors related to resource packs in Minecraft: Java Edition. Here is how you can enable it.
(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).

[teal sapphire]

ok let me try

it worked

w

w

w

thank you

[dusk fog]

what worked?

[obsidian island]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-huh-cat-huh-etr-gif-15332443943609734737

[dusk fog]

did restarting fix it?

[teal sapphire]

the texture worked

[obsidian island]

im guessing they didnt reload the pack? so when they restarted it reloaded

[dusk fog]

but you reloaded the pack earlier, why would it work now 🤔 ?

[teal sapphire]

i did

maybe it was the restart

[dusk fog]

it even said so in chat

I blame Iris (or other mods) then xP

[teal sapphire]

ok lol

thank you for helping me even if i was being stupid

[obsidian island]

thank you for not getting angry when you were struggling and not understanding

[teal sapphire]

i have one more queston if i make a block model what would this be

[obsidian island]

nothing

[teal sapphire]

and wouldent it be handhelp and placeable

[obsidian island]

you wouldnt have that line

[teal sapphire]

what would it be

[teal sapphire]

so delete it

look im trying to make a cannon and when its in my hand it works but when i place it it doesnt work

[dusk fog]

block and item models are separate

models/block is for block models, models/item for item models

[teal sapphire]

oh so i couldnt make it like i did the sword

[dusk fog]

If you want it as placed block you just put it in models/block instead of models/item
But you can't do that whole CustomModelData thing, that only works for items

[teal sapphire]

ok

so what would i do insted of the custommodeldata

[obsidian island]

nothing. it isnt possible to make new blocks in vanilla. you can only edit existing ones

[teal sapphire]

yeah im editing the dispenser

just like i edited the sword

[dusk fog]

if you wanna replace the dispenser with the cannon you just name it dispenser and put it in models/block

[teal sapphire]

and i do this right

[dusk fog]

only if your cannon.png is in textures/block

[obsidian island]

!faq java culling

[keen sedge]

FAQ

Java: Culling

Minecraft hides (culls) the faces between solid blocks to improve performance. To avoid this, remodel a non-solid block. For example: Glass, Pressure Plates, Flowers.
Alternatively, display the model by putting it into the head slot of an invisible Armor Stand or inside an invisible Item Frame, or by using the new Item Display entity.

[obsidian island]

i expect this will be an issue

[teal sapphire]

so what would i do to replace a block

[dusk fog]

👆

[dusk fog]

remove dispenser.json
then rename your cannon.json to dispenser.json

[teal sapphire]

ok

thanks that was so easy it instintly worked

how do i get rid of the bottom

[cerulean cape]

The void block you mean?
