New Pack Formatting for 1.21+?

[gloomy shadow]

It's been a long time since I updated and now my packs are broken. Can anyone give us a rundown onhow a new pack should not only be formatted, but how it should be written in the .json files?

Depends how long ago we're talking, what version do your packs work in

[gloomy shadow]

1.20.4 and now I'm jumping to 1.21.4

Also resource packs shouldn't need jar files

[gloomy shadow]

.json I mean

Let me correct the post

[runic lion]

Oh then not too much, what's broken that you can tell

FAQ

Java: New Java Features

Item Model Definitions (1.21.4+)

Minecraft added Item Model Definitions, they act similarly to blockstate files, but are solely for items.
They can be used as an alternative to some CIT features, with current snapshots making them a full replacement for CIT.
More information on this feature can be found on the MC wiki https://minecraft.wiki/w/Items_model_definition
There is also a handy tool which simplifies creation of those files https://misode.github.io/assets/item/

Custom Model Data alternative (1.21.2+)

Mojang added an alternative to custom model data, you can specify a data component
that will change the item model an item uses. On 1.21.4+ this will change the Item Model Definition file used.
