Can I have multiple hat designs if i name carved_pumpkin different names in the anvil?

[raven dagger]

I’m making a resource pack to change the look of a carved pumpkin into various hats depending on its name.

It works with a mushroom hat I made, but not when trying to add a second dino hat. The first hat loads fine but the second comes up as an error with the purple and black squares. Regular carved pumpkins still look like carved pumpkins.

Is this likely to be an error in pathing or is it not possible to have multiple hats stemming from the one item?

Appreciate any suggestions and I’m happy to send screenshots if needed!

forgot to mention - I'm using version 1.21.8

This is possible, there is likely an error in the texture path of your model

Java: Output Log

The output log will show you errors related to resource packs in Minecraft: Java Edition. Here is how you can enable it.
(PS: Optifine likes to hide vanilla errors/warnings for some weird reason, so always load the game up without it if you don't need it for your pack to work!)
If you don't understand the errors/warnings feel free to show and ask about them (in a help channel).

Also are you using Optifine CIT or the newer vanilla item definition file method?

[raven dagger]

I'm using the file method. ill send screenshots of the pathing as ive looked at it many times and cant figure it out...

i have the texture files in the texture folders in .png format also

[solar bane]

The dino hat model assigns the texture to "0" but the elements are using texture "1" which is undefined
Either do a batch replace to make all the 1s into 0s or change the texture to be assigned to "1" instead

You can also go into blockbench and change it but I think that's more complicated than editing the text file

[raven dagger]

That makes sense, thanks! I’ll change that over

[solar bane]

You can make the texture "variable" words as well, not only numbers, but you just gotta make sure they match up
Using words is helpful when you have multiple textures defined so you know what each one is

[raven dagger]

do the texture variables have to be different for each hat I make?

[solar bane]

Nope they are independent so they can share

Well
If you delve into parent models then these are a little more important, but for your current purposes don't worry about it, just make sure they match

[raven dagger]

got it to work, thanks so much for your help! i understand it a lot better now as well :))
