Yes I am using the Minecraft Item Wizard

the beetroot soup model uses the "item/generated" model and puts the beetroot soup texture on that, which makes it look like 3D.
You can open the beetroot soup model file from the default pack in Blockbench and it should show it with the model

!faq default pack

FAQ

Minecraft: Default Pack

Disclaimer: Use these packs as REFERENCE, don't put your models inside them, it just increases your pack needlessly. Also don't put any of the unedited files from it into your own pack. The distribution of default assets in your pack is illegal.

For Java Edition:

Simple Method
Use the Pack Creator utility from the Resource Pack Utilities Blockbench plugin. Make sure to enable the Import vanilla assets option.

Manual Method
(This works the same for all versions, 1.21 is just used as an example here)
Go to .minecraft/versions/1.21 and open the 1.21.jar file with a zip program.
Alternativley you can copy the .jar file and change the file extension to .zip, then double click it.
Extract/copy the "assets" folder from inside the jar. This folder contains all the default models and textures.

For Bedrock Edition:

Go to the bedrock resource pack documentation and scroll to "Building the Resource Pack". The download for the vanilla resource pack can be found right above that title. You can also use this Direct download link.

you can't really edit the "generated" model but you can use it as reference

[slim plume]

The default pack?

[wanton crow]

the faq I opened should have info about that

[slim plume]

Oh, and that's unfortunate, because that's what I wanted to do XD

[wanton crow]

are you trying to make an item like the vanilla ones? with a flat model

it so then you can just make a texture and set the parent to item/generated and it will make it 3D for you

if not then you will have to put in the cubes yourself

[slim plume]

Is the soup not a flat model???

[wanton crow]

it is

[slim plume]

Oh, well yeah, I am making a flat model

[wanton crow]

so what do you want your item to look like

[slim plume]

Soup

But instead of beetroot it's potato colored with some potato pieces in it

[wanton crow]

you can probably just make a texture for that

are you replacing the beetroot soup?

[slim plume]

No I am adding a new one through the use of the addon "Minecraft Item Wizard"

[wanton crow]

um
the Item Wizard is for bedrock edition
you are in the Java Edition help channel
Idk if anything I just told you is applicable to bedrock edition 💀

[slim plume]

OH HECK

[wanton crow]

sorry about that

[slim plume]

I didn't see that! 😭 My bad

[wanton crow]

you're good

[slim plume]

Do I ask it in the Bedrock one?

[wanton crow]

maybe some of what I said is true for bedrock too but I don't know

yea ask it there

[slim plume]

Thank you anyways XD

[wanton crow]

no problem, hope you figure it out
