silent night im trying to open the default item/generated.json file in block bench to modify ...

because its not a proper model

#

well how do i edit it then

#

it looks like a fine model to me

main plover May 17, 2025, 2:31 PM

#

what do you want to modify about it

#

because this is not a model. its just a bunch of display settings

#

the model itself is generated by the game from the textures

#

oh

#

i thought it was a model because it was in models/item but i guess not mb

main plover May 17, 2025, 2:33 PM

#

it is a model but it has no model data.

#

only display settings, and it tells the game to use builtin/generated to generate the model from the texture

#

what are you trying to do? what is it you want to change in game

#

i was mostly just trying to change the thickness of the item model when on the ground, and i thought this would be the model to edit since most items are based on it

main plover May 17, 2025, 2:34 PM

#

change the scale of the ground display

#

main plover May 17, 2025, 2:34 PM

#
