This is the working custom Shield in assets/minecraft/items:

{
"model": {
"type": "minecraft:condition",
"property": "minecraft:using_item",
"on_false": {
"type": "minecraft:model",
"model": "item/models/custom_model"
},
"on_true": {
"type": "minecraft:model",
"model": "item/models/custom_model"
}
}
}

This one however that I wanted to change, where i want the first person version (fallback), doesnt work anymore. I dont know if it is even possible or what I'm doing wrong.
Please help.

{
"model": {
"type": "minecraft:condition",
"property": "minecraft:using_item",
"on_false": {
"cases": [
{
"when": [
"gui",
"thirdperson_righthand",

Your jsons are missing the information about what these cases are for

#

You never tell it that it's meant to check display_context at that point

Hey, so it works when applying the item model onto a shield.

However I just noticed a few minutes ago: in the newer versions it's possible to make every item block, not just the shield ( /give @s paper[blocks_attacks={}] ).

However for those blocking-animations, it appearently doesn't work.
Do you have any idea if it is possible using these kind of blocks?

@true grove ,

This is how the json looks:

{
"model": {
"type": "minecraft:condition",
"property": "minecraft:using_item",
"on_false": {
"type": "minecraft:select",
"property": "minecraft:display_context",
"cases": [
{
"when": [
"gui",
"thirdperson_righthand",
"thirdperson_lefthand",
"ground",
"head",
"fixed"
],
"model": {
"type": "minecraft:model",
"model": "item/models/modelexample"
}
}
],
"fallback": {
"type": "minecraft:model",
"model": "item/models/modelexample"
}
},
"on_true": {
"type": "minecraft:select",
"property": "minecraft:display_context",
"cases": [
{
"when": [
"gui",
"thirdperson_righthand",
"thirdperson_lefthand",
"ground",
"head",
"fixed"
],
"model": {
"type": "minecraft:model",
"model": "item/models/modelexample"
}
}
],
"fallback": {
"type": "minecraft:model",
"model": "item/models/modelexample"
}
}
}
}

that should work for non-shields too if they have the option to be "used" like a shield afaik 🤔

Would you mind trying it yourself and seeing if it works for you?
Because I've been trying to find a solution to this for the past 4 hours and I cant seem to find anything....

it works fine for me

#

only difference is that the holding angle isn't the same

#

left = stick that isn't blocking (shows blackstone and blaze for placedholder models)
right = stick that is blocking (shows stone and stick for placeholder models)

#

meanwhile with a shield using the same models and item definition file I get this result when blocking 🤔

true grove only difference is that the holding angle isn't the same

well that's the problem. When blocking, it changes the angle.
My goal is to be able to block, but the first person view shows the EXACT same model in both cases (block/not-blocking) so the user doesnt even see that he is blocking unless he goes into 3rd person.
I believe if you try it with a shield instead of a stick, it will stay the same angle

yeah, that's my second screenshot

true grove yeah, that's my second screenshot

oh my bad I misunderstood the images.
But comes out to the same conclusion...
So you don't know how to fix this issue either?

true grove Nov 6, 2025, 10:16 PM

unfortunately I don't see how to fix that either
the only way I know how to assign an animation to an item is via the consumable component, but that cancels the blocks_attack behavior 🤔
