drinking animations?

[mighty mesa]

how can i get an animation so that the milk goes down, or the bowl soup goes down as the player drinks it? 1.21.4
could this also be applied to solid foods so they lose mass as they are eaten? thanks.

You could use something like the bow does in its item model definition file, but change the model reference to your custom ones instead.

  "model": {
    "type": "minecraft:range_dispatch",
    "property": "minecraft:use_duration",
    "scale": 0.05,
    "entries": [
      {
        "threshold": 0.25,
        "model": {
          "type": "minecraft:model",
          "model": "minecraft:item/water_bucket"
        }
      },
      {
        "threshold": 0.5,
        "model": {
          "type": "minecraft:model",
          "model": "minecraft:item/lava_bucket"
        }
      }
    ],
    "fallback": {
      "type": "minecraft:model",
      "model": "minecraft:item/milk_bucket"
    }
  }
}```
like this would make the milk bucket swap to the water and lava bucket models while you drink it (if I didn't make any errors)

[mighty mesa]

this

now i just gotta add models for each stage

and if i want to combine it with the 2d sprites in my last post?

[mighty mesa]

@devout mason do i need to make a seperate item file for each stage of milk drinking to have 2d textures?

[devout mason]

no, you need to have all item_definition stuff for one item in one file

{
  "model": {
    "type": "minecraft:select",
    "property": "minecraft:display_context",
    "cases": [
      {
        "when": [
          "gui",
          "ground",
          "fixed"
        ],
        "model": {
          "type": "minecraft:range_dispatch",
          "property": "minecraft:use_duration",
          "scale": 0.05,
          "entries": [
            {
              "threshold": 0.25,
              "model": {
                "type": "minecraft:model",
                "model": "item/2d_use1"
              }
            }
          ],
          "fallback": {
            "type": "minecraft:model",
            "model": "item/2d"
          }
        }
      }
    ],
    "fallback": {
      "type": "minecraft:range_dispatch",
      "property": "minecraft:use_duration",
      "scale": 0.05,
      "entries": [
        {
          "threshold": 0.25,
          "model": {
            "type": "minecraft:model",
            "model": "item/3d_use1"
          }
        }
      ],
      "fallback": {
        "type": "minecraft:model",
        "model": "item/3d"
      }
    }
  }
}```
kinda like this (but with more model entries)

you can use misode's item generator if you don't wanna write the .json manually
