Applying 2D textures onto 3D

[cobalt flume]

I basically made 2d textures of a bow and edited the gui stuff in blockbench, but when i tried to load it in game the textures became corrupted, the model works tho. I did turned the textures into 3d ||(I just click the "create texture" button in the texture section)|| in bb for it but it still didnt work. (the logs kept saying "missing textures") ||(Let alone the animated part Im already having troubles with the non-animated part 💀)||

can you show the first couple lines of your .json model in a text editor?

[cobalt flume]

I temporarily replaced the standby texture with the pulling one since the standby one is supposed to be animated

[sterile jasper]

k, and your soul_catch_pulling_2.png etc. are all in assets/minecraft/textures/item?

[cobalt flume]

yes

i checked the file path already

i spent like 1 hour trying to fix it 💀

[sterile jasper]

Hmm, don't see a reason why it wouldn't load the texture then 🤔
Are there any .png.mcmeta files next to the texture?

(as in in the same folder)

They aren't required (though an animated texture will look squished without them), but if they are there and somehow "wrong" they can cause issues.

[cobalt flume]

the only .png file was the standby one (which i didnt used it for now)

[sterile jasper]

How are you currently adding the soul catcher model to the game?
Optifine CIT or vanilla method?

[cobalt flume]

cit

i tried to use vanilla and i got utterly confused so i switched to cit

1.21+ btw

[sterile jasper]

can you show what is in your .properties file?

[sterile jasper]

hmm, don't really see any reason why it wouldn't show the textures at this point 🤔 (then again, I haven't used CIT since 1.8, so 🤷‍♂️ )

[cobalt flume]

hmm-

[sterile jasper]

Does the output log throw any errors/warnings by chance?

!faq output-log

(that thing)

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).

[cobalt flume]

Umm I remember it only outputs the "missing textures" message
I can check it later I'm not at my laptop rn

[sterile jasper]

Yeah, very weird that it can't find the textures 🤔
Could you screenshot the folder path at the top with the file names just in case there is some very hidden typo?
(so I can see assets/minecraft/textures/item at the top basically)

[cobalt flume]

Nvm this is the latest one-

?

okay my brain is melting-

[sterile jasper]

the folder needs to be called textures, not texture

[cobalt flume]

💀
aint no way

Im actually going to bang my head against the wall-

Idk if i should be laughing hard at myself or what now-

💀

Bro i spent 1 hour trying to fix it-

[sterile jasper]

[cobalt flume]

[sterile jasper]

[cobalt flume]
