how to make Elements added Into a java entity that already has a texture be texturable?

[buoyant briar]

everytime when making a java entity that already has a texture, and when i add another element its untexturable, the cube added apears invisible and texturing it edits the texture already present, is there a way to stop this from happening?

Blockbench: UV Mapping

Definition

A UV map or just "UV" is the information in a model, which parts of a texture are shown on which parts of a model. UVs can overlap and hence cause several parts to use the same area on the texture.

Editing a UV Map

You can edit a UV-map trough the UV window in the top left.
Make sure to have a cube selected which you want to UV map and freely resize/move the selection box in the UV window.
You cannot resize the UV selection if you're using Box UV

What do the value fields below the UV window mean?

Per-face UV: The first two values are the x/y position (with 0/0 being in the top left
corner) of the UV map, and the last two values its width and height.
Box UV: The 2 values are the x/y position of the UV map. The size of the UV map depends on the size of the respective cube.

I don't wanna bother with any of that, just let me draw on the model!:

Select all elements (Ctrl+A) and, create a new texture and make sure to select "Template" as type.
This will create a new texture that will keep already existing texture information, but assigns each element a unique section in the texture.

While you can't edit the UV size like in that give you can still move it around (assuming the UV isn't bigger than the texture).
Alternatively generating a new texture after adding new elements is also an option, especially if your current texture would lack empty space for more cubes.

i solved it by just making the texture bigger
