if you just wanna make a model in the shape of that texture (with that texture) you just do this:

FAQ

Blockbench: Texture To 3D

Depending on where you wanna have the model there are different ways to turn a texture into a (default-item like) model:
1. Letting the game generate it from a texture (vanilla Java)
2. Directly adding a new item (Bedrock Edition)
3. Letting Blockbench generate it (ONLY use this if the other options are not applicable!!!)

** 1. Letting the game generate it from a texture:**
Create a .json file somewhere inside your models folder and put this code inside of it:

{
  "parent": "item/generated",
  "textures": {
    "layer0": "custom/example"
  }
}``` This will tell the game to generate a model based on the texture `YourPack/assets/minecraft/textures/custom/example.png`.
(Use `item/handheld` as parent instead if you want it to be held like a weapon).

It can be used just like any other model, so you can either replace an existing item with it or "add" it with custom_model_data. You can also load it into Blockbench to edit the display settings.

** ![bedrock](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/526419810272149526.webp?size=128 "bedrock") 2. Directly adding a new item in Bedrock Edition:**
Please follow the steps described in here:
Default like items: <https://wiki.bedrock.dev/items/items-intro.html>
Custom 3D model items: <https://wiki.bedrock.dev/items/3d-items.html>

** ![blockbench](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/340506781111549957.webp?size=128 "blockbench") 3. Generating it in Blockbench:**
ONLY use this approach if you plan on editing it more than what the other option allows you to do!!!
You need to make sure to use per-face uv (_not_ box-uv!) and then do `File > Import > Extruded Image` and select your texture. Then, pick the way it should generate the texture. You can chose between pixel by pixel, line by line (horizontal/vertical) or in as little chunks as possible (area). 
I suggest to always use area for performance. If you wanna edit each pixel/line choose one of the other options.

perfect thank you

[tender haven]

will it look big and unpolished if i just used this method

[mighty imp]

will what look big and unpolished?

if you just use Method 1 that's what the default game uses and the cleanest way to turn an icon texture into a basic model if you mean that.

the texture i made

i see

aite trying that out rn then

do i convert this file into a java item first?

or i can use this png and somehow add a .json

[mighty imp]

You copy the text snipped in the bot message, put it in a new text file, adjust the texture path to point to your custom texture there and and change the .txt extension to .json
-# alternatively copy some .json file, edit it in a text editor and replace the text with the bot message snippet
And that's the whole model.

mmm

when i generate the texture pack will it look like a square with the thing in it or it'll leave out the blank space and just make a clean texture of this quiver in the picture

[mighty imp]

It will do the exact same thing it will do for any other default item:
Take the texture and generate a model based on its shape

[tender haven]

Ok bet

[tender haven]

hey my friend

do i put all the files i see in here to minecraft to make it work?

or only the one where i listed as quiver

[mighty imp]

what are these pak files?

and you cannot use capital letters in file names for a resourcepack

[tender haven]

Yeah dw I fixed it

[tender haven]

I have no idea tbh it’s already there when I downloaded the software

U wanna tell me what it is?
