Java: Export Vanilla Models

IMPORTANT:
-Any missing folders need to be created if they aren't there yet!
-Do the steps in this exact order!

Step 0: Setup
**-In Blockbench: **
Use the Java Block/Item format. (Check at File > Project... in Blockbench).
If it's not convert it via File > Convert Project. ATTENTION: This can break the model due to format specific restrictions! (see !faq java-rotation and !faq java-sizelimit)

-Setting up your pack:
Create a folder inside Minecraft's resource pack folder (aka "YourPack" for the rest of this guide). It is usually at C:\Users\INSERT_YOUR_PC_USER_HERE\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\resourcepacks. Put this file https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/883449189533638777/899224109869846558/pack.mcmeta in YourPack.
Optionally: Edit it in a text editor and adjust the value of "pack_format" (see https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Pack_format). This only affects whether your pack is shown as "outdated" ingame or not.

Step 1: Saving Textures
Save all your textures first.
To do that either:
-Ctrl+S, or
-click 💾 next to the texture(s), or
-rightclick the texture(s) and click "Save As"
Save them directly within YourPack/assets/minecraft/textures/block/... or /item/....
Reason: If you don't do that or move/rename the files later your model won't find the textures anymore.
(For custom subfolders check !faq java-1.19.3-textures)

Don't use capital letters nor spaces in file/folder names. The model will be invalid ingame!.

Step 2: Exporting the Model
After saving the textures use File > Export > Block/Item export it to YourPack/assets/minecraft/models/item (or /block, but only for placed down blocks.).
Name the file based on the id of the thing you wanna replace (totem_of_undying for a Totem of Undying for example). Check the default pack if you are not sure what the exact name is (see !faq default-pack for more information)

FAQ

Minecraft: Default Pack

Disclaimer: Use these packs as REFERENCE, don't put your models inside them, it just increases your pack needlessly. Also don't put any of the unedited files from it into your own pack. The distribution of default assets in your pack is illegal.

For Java Edition:

Simple Method
Use the Pack Creator utility from the Resource Pack Utilities Blockbench plugin. Make sure to enable the Import vanilla assets option.

Manual Method
(This works the same for all versions, 1.21 is just used as an example here)
Go to .minecraft/versions/1.21 and open the 1.21.jar file with a zip program.
Alternativley you can copy the .jar file and change the file extension to .zip, then double click it.
Extract/copy the "assets" folder from inside the jar. This folder contains all the default models and textures.

For Bedrock Edition:

Go to the bedrock resource pack documentation and scroll to "Building the Resource Pack". The download for the vanilla resource pack can be found right above that title. You can also use this Direct download link.
