#

in a good or in a bad way 🤔 ?

clever elbow Aug 19, 2025, 10:50 AM

#

in a bad way, The animation aint working

#

everything else works just fine with custom model data

#

the animation is 10 frames and none show up

loud rover Aug 19, 2025, 10:51 AM

#

It works fine for me in Blockbench.
Does it work for you in Blockbench too?

clever elbow Aug 19, 2025, 10:51 AM

#

yeah but i meant ingame

#

loud rover Aug 19, 2025, 10:52 AM

#

is there an ohio.png.mcmeta file in the same folder as the ohio.png?

clever elbow Aug 19, 2025, 10:53 AM

#

yup

#

{
"animation": {
"frametime": 2
}
}

#

uhm i now see the mistake i guess

loud rover Aug 19, 2025, 10:53 AM

#

what's the mistake?

clever elbow Aug 19, 2025, 10:53 AM

#

i think that theres no order for the animation to play

loud rover Aug 19, 2025, 10:54 AM

#

if nothing is specified it just goes from frame 0 to the last frame in order

#

(and then repeats again and again)

clever elbow Aug 19, 2025, 10:54 AM

#

it should loop

#

{
"animation": {
"frametime":5,
"frames": [
1,
2,
3,
4,
5
]
}

#

From a tutorial but i think that doesnt work also

loud rover Aug 19, 2025, 10:55 AM

#

clever elbow { "animation": { "frametime": 2 } }

as I said, if nothing is specified like this it will already go from frame 0 to the last frame and loop

clever elbow Aug 19, 2025, 10:55 AM

#

hmm

#

then idk whats wrong

loud rover Aug 19, 2025, 10:55 AM

#

your issue is not that it doesn't animate, your issue is that the game cannot find or load your texture

#

can you open your .json model in a text editor and show the first couple lines of text?

clever elbow Aug 19, 2025, 10:55 AM

#

kk

and ohio.png and ohio.png.mcmeta are both in the same folder as crystalschwert?

clever elbow Aug 19, 2025, 10:57 AM

#

yes

#

loud rover Aug 19, 2025, 10:57 AM

#

actually, why is your ohio.png 32x300 🤔 ?
300 is not (cleanly) divisible by 32

clever elbow Aug 19, 2025, 10:58 AM

#

hmm Wait a minute

loud rover Aug 19, 2025, 10:58 AM

#

if it's meant to be 10 frames it needs to be 32x320
if it's meant to be 9 frames it needs to be 32x288

clever elbow Aug 19, 2025, 10:58 AM

#

oh

loud rover Aug 19, 2025, 10:58 AM

#

unless your frames are not meant to be square

#

in which case you need to define the height and width in your mcmeta file

clever elbow Aug 19, 2025, 10:59 AM

#

mhh and what should this look like?

loud rover Aug 19, 2025, 11:00 AM

#

{
    "width": 32,
    "height": 30,
    "animation": {
        "frametime": 2
    }
}```

clever elbow Aug 19, 2025, 11:01 AM

#

hm still doesnt work properly

loud rover Aug 19, 2025, 11:01 AM

#

still error texture ingame?
if yes:

#

!faq output-log

loud rover !faq output-log

FAQ

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).

clever elbow Aug 19, 2025, 11:02 AM

#

hm?

#

im so lost With this pedro_pascal

loud rover Aug 19, 2025, 11:03 AM

#

the output log will tell you what problem Minecraft has with the texture/model

clever elbow Aug 19, 2025, 11:03 AM

#

Ohh ok

#

Missing block model: 'minecraft:item/custom/schwert'
,
Missing textures in model minecraft:custom/aether-totem#inventory:
minecraft:textures/atlas/blocks.png:minecraft:block/custom/aether-totem
,
Missing textures in model minecraft:netherite_sword#inventory:
minecraft:textures/atlas/blocks.png:minecraft:block/custom/ohio

#

I still dont know Whats Wrong

#

Image minecraft:block/custom/ohio size 32,300 is not multiple of frame size 32,32

loud rover Aug 19, 2025, 11:10 AM

#

loud rover ```json { "width": 32, "height": 30, "animation": { "frameti...

did you do this?

clever elbow Aug 19, 2025, 11:10 AM

#

i put it in the mc.meta

loud rover Aug 19, 2025, 11:11 AM

#

oh wait, I put it in the root

#

should be:

{
    "animation": {
        "width": 32,
        "height": 30,
        "frametime": 2
    }
}``` instead, my bad

clever elbow Aug 19, 2025, 11:12 AM

#

Thank You SOO Much this helps me soo much for my Server bblike

#

but this is still a weird glitch c.c

#

thats Weird if it doesnt have custom model data that the display stuff is messed up yoshi_what

#

do you know how to fix this?

clever elbow Aug 19, 2025, 11:46 AM

#

loud rover oh wait, I put it in the root

This Works Fine on all the models i have 😄

loud rover Aug 19, 2025, 11:47 AM

#

clever elbow thats Weird if it doesnt have custom model data that the display stuff is messed...

you probably didn't give the netherite_sword the correct parent
Looks like you gave it item/generated instead of item/handheld

clever elbow Aug 19, 2025, 11:47 AM

#

Mh okay and I could fix it with item-generated right?

loud rover Aug 19, 2025, 11:50 AM

#

?

#

I'm saying you are currently specifying item/generated.
But it should be item/handheld

clever elbow Aug 19, 2025, 11:50 AM

#

{"parent": "item/generated","textures": {"layer0": "item/netherite_sword"},"overrides":

[

{ "predicate": {"custom_model_data": 1}, "model": "item/custom/schwert"},

{ "predicate": {"custom_model_data": 2}, "model": "item/custom/crystal-schwert-v1"}

]}

#

So to just replace it

#

?

clever elbow Aug 19, 2025, 11:52 AM

#

loud rover I'm saying you are currently specifying item/generated. But it should be item/ha...

Yup Works, Thank you soo Much bblike

clever elbow Aug 19, 2025, 1:30 PM

#

{"parent": "item/handheld","textures": {"layer0": "item/fishing_rod"},"overrides":

[

{ "predicate": {"custom_model_data": 1}, "model": "item/custom/crystalangel"},

{ "predicate": {"custom_model_data": 2}, "model": "item/custom/lol"}

]}

#

@loud rover The Fishing rod model is backwards, Any idea Why?

loud rover Aug 19, 2025, 1:31 PM

#

Because fishing rods have their own parent
always a good idea to check the default item model to see what needs to be before the custom_model_data overrides/predicates section

clever elbow Aug 19, 2025, 1:32 PM

#

ok

#

{
"parent": "item/handheld_rod",
"textures": {
"layer0": "item/fishing_rod"
},
"overrides": [
{
"predicate": {
"cast": 1
},
"model": "item/fishing_rod_cast"
}
]
}

#

could something like this work?

loud rover Aug 19, 2025, 1:35 PM

#

well, if you wanna mix it with custom_model_data it would look something like this:

{
  "parent": "item/handheld_rod",
  "textures": {
    "layer0": "item/fishing_rod"
  },
  "overrides": [
    { "predicate": {"cast": 1 }, "model": "item/fishing_rod_cast"},
    { "predicate": {"custom_model_data": 1}, "model": "item/custom/crystalangel"},
    { "predicate": {"custom_model_data": 1, "cast": 1}, "model": "item/custom/crystalangel_cast"},
    { "predicate": {"custom_model_data": 2}, "model": "item/custom/lol"}
  ]
}```
I gave your crystalangel an example how to tell it to swap the model if it's your custom model and cast, but it's not a requirement to have that line.

#

1.21.4 item_model stuff definitely made stuff like this easier (since you don't need to merge your custom stuff with default files)

clever elbow Aug 19, 2025, 1:36 PM

kk thx
