Textures not loading (again) | Blockbench | Page 1

Hello. I've created a helmet model for the netherite helmet, but the textures are not loading at all. What can I do? I want all netherite helmets to look like the model, but the textures aren't appearing.

This is what the code looks like:

#

I'm always having issue with textures.

#

This is the path for the model:
C:\Users\x\Downloads\texturepack\assets\minecraft\models\item\netherite_helmet.json

This is the path for the textures:
C:\Users\x\Downloads\texturepack\assets\minecraft\textures\item\all the textures

#

I don't really know what I'm doing wrong.

This is more than just a "texture" issue.
The whole model seems to be invalid (hence error cube, not model with error texture).

#

Best to check the output log for errors/warnings/messages after you (re)load the pack:

#

!faq output-log

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).

[14:07:57] [Render thread/ERROR]: Couldn't load file/Helmet pack metadata: Pack declares support for version newer than 64, but is missing mandatory fields min_format and max_format

That's all it says. I think I messed up because I did it on java/item model when there was this thing called "minecraft item wizard".

"minecraft item wizard"
that's for Bedrock Edition

#

Ohh!

woven current Mar 17, 2026, 10:13 PM

#

and that error sounds like it wouldn't load the "Helmet pack" pack at all 🤔

#

not just "doesn't load the model", but the whole pack wouldn't be there

boreal dirge Mar 17, 2026, 10:14 PM

#

Yeah, I added parent: item/generated, and the model wouldn't show either. It'd only show the vanilla netherite helmet.

woven current Mar 17, 2026, 10:15 PM

#

that's different from the error cube you have showed though

#

unless we are talking about the helmet on your head in that screenshot, that will always be the default armor helmet

boreal dirge Mar 17, 2026, 10:16 PM

#

Wait, so I can't change the way armor looks when you wear it? Because that's pretty much what I wanted to do, but failed.

woven current Mar 17, 2026, 10:17 PM

#

yeah, the armor model is (part of) an entity model and hence cannot be changed with a normal resource pack

boreal dirge Mar 17, 2026, 10:17 PM

#

Oh, dang.

woven current Mar 17, 2026, 10:18 PM

#

You'd need to either replace a non-armor item or give yourself one (with commands etc.) with a specific item component to render the item model instead.

boreal dirge Mar 17, 2026, 10:18 PM

#

I didn't know that... Dang.

#

I guess I'll save the helmet for now and see if I can add a specific component to render the item model...
