I don't see anything particularly wrong with the file.
What does the output log say when you (re)load the pack?

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).

#

do you have a resourcepack I can quickly throw my model in to replace some vanilla item?

#

theres also a block model I have here, that the placed block model looks just fine but the item version of said block is also the purple and black cube

#

the Resource Pack Utilitiess plugin has an option to generate a template pack

#

OK so I downloaded a sword resource pack and replaced the model and texture with my stuff and it works

#

so why isnt it just working with my mod items

tiny glen Mar 15, 2026, 4:36 PM

#

an issue inside your mod somewhere?

Fixed it, 1.21.4 requires a new "items" folder in assets

Weird, it should have still thrown an error about that 🤔
