what version of Minecraft are you trying to add this model to?
In much older versions you could change the bed model in the base game but in newer versions you can't, so it requires mods instead

[next arch]

Uhh i'm using 1.20.6, how to add that model?

[tulip roost]

you will need Optifine or EMF and ETF then if you want to change the model

(textures work fine in vanilla though)

what model format is your existing model in?

[next arch]

What is emf

[tulip roost]

[tulip roost]

how did you make your model?

in Blockbench?

[next arch]

Yes

[tulip roost]

ok when you created it what format did you choose

[next arch]

Give me a sec i'm turning on My pc

[next arch]

The 2nd

Java block/item

[tulip roost]

ok that's good

you will need to make that into an Optifine entity but that's easy from a block/item

[next arch]

Nice

How to do that

[tulip roost]

Do you have the Blockbench plugin "CEM Template Loader"?

[next arch]

No i don't

Hae that plugin

[tulip roost]

ok go file -> plugin and download it

[next arch]

Done

[tulip roost]

now you can do this

select bed

and you should be on a screen like this

[next arch]

Yess

[tulip roost]

now you should be able to copy your model into one of the folders in the model

make sure to put it inside one of the folders, not outside

[next arch]

what

[tulip roost]

you can also delete the default cubes inside the folders, but do not delete the actual folders

[tulip roost]

in your existing model, you can select everything and copy

then paste into the bed model while a folder is selected

some cubes may have their rotations messed up, you can easily fix that later

[next arch]

that's my model of bed, how to do that

[tulip roost]

do ctrl A

ctrl C

[next arch]

done

[tulip roost]

then go to the bed model

the one from the template loader

select a folder on the menu on the right

[next arch]

this

[tulip roost]

yes

then you can ctrl v

[next arch]

this?

[tulip roost]

yes

[next arch]

what folder

[tulip roost]

doesn't matter but I would do head

[next arch]

i got this

[tulip roost]

now when you paste it, yea the rotations will be wack

do ctrl shift g to put all those parts in their own separate folder

[next arch]

thx for help me btw

[tulip roost]

np, that's what this channel is for

[next arch]

i already do ctrl shift g and this happens

[tulip roost]

that's good yea

[next arch]

ok what's next

[tulip roost]

now you can rotate the entire thing

and move it to where it should be

you can only rotate the bone, not the cubes

so everything should move together

[next arch]

ohh yeahh

i can

only this

[next arch]

ok

done

[tulip roost]

now you can get rid of the cubes that were already in the model when it was created

be sure not to delete the folders

but only the cubes inside the folders

[next arch]

I put it to one side, because that bed doesn't let me see it. **

[tulip roost]

ah ok then yea move your custom bed so it's where you want it to be

[next arch]

so i delete this?

[tulip roost]

no keep that

that is your model

delete all the other cubes

since that's the normal bed model

[next arch]

that cubes

[tulip roost]

yep

[next arch]

done

i delete all the cubes but not the folders

[tulip roost]

how does it look now?

you can do this to screenshot the whole app

[next arch]

ohh ok

i have that

[tulip roost]

alright, I think how it is right now the bed may be sideways
the feet should* be to the north

so you can rotate "bone" 90

[next arch]

oh ok ok

is already 90

[tulip roost]

well there are 3 rotation values, the first one is 90 so that's probably good
but if you change the second one it should rotate in a different direction

[next arch]

yeah i already saw that

[tulip roost]

ok yea that looks good

is it right-side up?

[next arch]

now the feet is in north

yes

[tulip roost]

ok now you can fix the texture
if you click the arrow to the right of the "textures" menu on the left side it should open a tab

something like this

[next arch]

Do I think it should be higher?

[tulip roost]

wait
is the headboard on the bottom?

the grid is where the floor would be in the game

so yea those 2 bars would be in the ground

[tulip roost]

ok that looks correct

[next arch]

ok ok thx

what's nest

[tulip roost]

this here

[next arch]

yes

[tulip roost]

ok awesome

[next arch]

:)

[tulip roost]

you can right click the little picture of the texture and "change file"

[next arch]

yes

i have that option

[tulip roost]

ok good, then you can find the texture you used for your other model

[next arch]

hmm only i have the model

how ican download the texture

[tulip roost]

oh are you using the browser version of Blockbench?

[next arch]

nono

i'm using the app

[tulip roost]

ok then the texture file must exist on your computer somewhere right?

[next arch]

yeah

[tulip roost]

then you should be able to find that when you "change file"

[next arch]

I have those 3 textures of my model that I want to be the bed in my resource pack

do i have to use those 3 in this?

[tulip roost]

oh, entity models can only use one texture

you are going to have to merge those together into one

[next arch]

how to do that

[tulip roost]

hm
ok I think I know the simplest way
right click the texture again but this time do "edit in Blockbench"

it should open the texture in 2D

also open your other 3 textures

[next arch]

i do that again

in only 1 texure

[tulip roost]

oh that works too

[next arch]

my model is simple so it's easy

[tulip roost]

looks good

ah one thing, slide the model so it's centered

the middle of the bed is over the middle of the grid

[tulip roost]

👍

now you can save your model and texture
choose "Optifine jem" for the model

oh actually first
in your pack you should make the file location for it to save in

do you have a resource pack yet?

[next arch]

yes

i'm making some models and when i try to do with bed i can't

[tulip roost]

yeah cus the bed is different from other blocks

[next arch]

yeah yeah i already saw that

[next arch]

wdym choose "Optifine jem" for the model

[tulip roost]

when you save it for the first time this should pop up

[next arch]

how to open that

[next arch]

ohh nono

i already save that

before

.bbmodel

[tulip roost]

ah ok then no problem gimme a sec

[next arch]

okay

[tulip roost]

and put the file somewhere you can remember

[next arch]

i don't have that

[tulip roost]

I think that may be the wrong model

you should be exporting the one you created with the CEM template loader

this looks like your original model

[tulip roost]

you should be editing and saving this one

[next arch]

what

[next arch]

so i delete that cubes and do my own model again?

[tulip roost]

wait no

you already had that model right? the one you copied the cubes into and made the bone folder and everything

[next arch]

yeah

[tulip roost]

then export that one

[next arch]

This was the model where he copies the cubes and everything

[next arch]

Yes, but it didn't let me export it as OPTIFINE JEM

[tulip roost]

that is your original model that you copied the cubes from, try to export the one you copied the cubes to

the one just called "bed"

[next arch]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

omg sorry

done

[tulip roost]

ok
wait
does the "bed" model have the right texture

[next arch]

btw itried to put the textures of the original model and it came out like this: (Is there a solution or how do I return it to the original texture?

[tulip roost]

press "z" a few times

[next arch]

doesn't work

i already try to do that

[tulip roost]

huh lemme see what makes this happen again

ah ok press "g"

[next arch]

done

[tulip roost]

does the texture still look all white?

[next arch]

yes

[tulip roost]

ok could you go to the "edit" tab and do ctrl a
I want to see how the texture menu on the left looks when you do that

the blue outlined boxes show what parts of the texture the model is using

[next arch]

i already do that again

[tulip roost]

ah ok you have a different layout than I do
on the bottom left there's a "UV" menu
could you open that?

it should show something like this

but with your texture ofc

[next arch]

that?

[tulip roost]

no bottom right

[next arch]

I don't see it, or well, I don't know where to click

[tulip roost]

ok gimme a sec

[next arch]

i already saw that

[tulip roost]

ok yes that

[tulip roost]

could you do it on this model

it looks like you have two models open with different textures

[next arch]

yes

[tulip roost]

oh huh
that's weird
what if you use the white texture on this model?

[next arch]

Yes, I'm sure when I learn how to do this bed thing, I'll master it and do better things, because that little bed is very basic.

[tulip roost]

yeah this is a good introduction to entity models actually

but if you want to learn more then Ewan Howell has a great tutorial on it

[next arch]

I just put that texture from my original model that I want to be the bed

[tulip roost]

yea try that

with the "change file"

[next arch]

ohh i already saw the problem

[next arch]

It was wrong, the feet were facing somewhere other than north.

[tulip roost]

ah ok

[next arch]

lemme fix that

give me a minute

I did everything again and I don't know why it keeps coming out like this

I checked several times and the positions are correct too.

[next arch]

Well, let's leave it like that, later I'll see how I can give it a better shape, how do I now transfer it to my resource pack?

[tulip roost]

ok, in your pack, in the "minecraft" folder, create a folder named "optifine"
and inside that another folder "cem", short for "custom entity model"

both the bed.jem and the texture (bed.png or whatever name) go in that folder

[next arch]

ok ok

done

[next arch]

what's next

[tulip roost]

do you have either Optifine or the two mods I sent installed?

if not, restart your game with them

[next arch]

i only have optifine

[tulip roost]

ok then you should be good

if you reload your resource pack the beds should use the model you've made

[next arch]

what bed

or all the beds?

[tulip roost]

all the beds

you can make only certain beds use the model but as it is right now all of them should use the model

[next arch]

omg thank u so much bro

[tulip roost]

ehm

that's not the model you made

[next arch]

No, the other one was very buggy and I don't know why, so I changed it for an easier one and it didn't bug, with time I will learn to make better ones.

[tulip roost]

buggy how so?

[next arch]

It wasn't even visible, the beds are default, with nothing

[tulip roost]

huh that's weird
so it was probably using the model but the texture made it invisible

maybe do a placeholder texture of just a big soild square
so it will for sure show up if the model uses any part of it

[next arch]

Surely, but anyway, thank you very much, we were here for a long time and at least I learned something, with time I will improve it.

[tulip roost]

oh alright, well glad you learned something from this!

if you want to know more about models like this then I highly recommend this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arj2eim42KI

mobs like creepers and pigs use the same model format as beds

[next arch]

Thank you very much bro, now I have to go to sleep, anyway thanks for helping me all this time

[tulip roost]

ok good night!

[next arch]

ohh ok thx i saw that video rn
