just dragging and dropping the ones from that models folder into Blockbench should work (assuming that's not a zip folder)

[polar stratus]

ok ill try thx

[polar stratus]

doesnt work im using the web version off bb does that mean anything?

[jaunty spruce]

loads it in just fine for me (it just won't automatically load the texture along with the model due to file access restrictions)

[polar stratus]

huh

[polar stratus]

what does this mean? im trying to open a model in a minecraft folder

in the models folder

i do not understand

[jaunty spruce]

The "builtin/entity" parent tells the game to load a hardcoded entity model for that item/block.
Meaning that item/block cannot be remodeled (at least in most cases, really depends on what you tried to open)

[polar stratus]

is there a way i can open it? (trident model)

[jaunty spruce]

which trident model? (there is several)

[polar stratus]

item folder trident in hand and trident throwing

[jaunty spruce]

both of those are using hardcoded entity models and cannot be changed to my knowledge

oh
