I want to open the model of an item in a mod using Blockbench, but nothing shows up after opening it. The texture files are also there, but the model just doesn't display. Could it be that this item doesn't have a model made and directly uses the texture as the model instead?

can you send the model file you are trying to open?

That looks like a Bedrock Edition model.
So the mod most likely uses Geckolib or similar to render this.

I'm sure it's a java edition model, i played it on java edition before. https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/mcdw here

Open it in Blockbench, but not as a Block/Item model
wait
how is that file different now 🤔
when I ownloaded on the phone that was a different model
K, ignore what I said earlier then, weird
That file you sent is a texture, some display settings and a parent reference to mcdw:item/model_dagger, which contains the actual model data (allegedly).
Though Blockbench should have asked you if you wanna load the parent model 🤔
I guess it depends on what is in model_dagger.json

yes, blockbench asked me, and i click to load the parent model, but it's also nothing display

k, so seems like all in all it just generates the model from the texture (in a bit of a round abotu way, but I guess they just want the items to have some shared display settings etc.)
"parent": "item/generated",
This line in particular is what does it.
The rest of the information are just display settings etc. (and the texture reference in that earlier file)

it don't have "generated" in item
rocky vessel
it don't have "generated" in item
cause that's a default file
which 99% of default item models (of non-blocks) use as their parent model
and that item/generated model has "builtin/generated" as parent
and "builtin" always refers to some hardcoded behavior (in this case generating a model from a texture)
more specifically, from texture(s) with texture keys like "layer0", "layer1" etc. (unless you wanna stack several textures you usually only need layer0)
but yeah, TL;DR
If you want to remodel it, just make a custom model and replace it
If you just wanna change the texture, change the texture
If you want to do something else, please describe in detail what you wanna do

so if i want to change the model,i should make a custom model first?
oh, i got it
thank you verymuch

If you wanna change the model, yes. No need to load the mod's model for that.
If you just wanna change the texture, then you only need to edit the texture ofc.
