(1.21.11) How do i put custom shield models

[indigo flax]

I want to include several custom shield models in a texture pack that can be obtained via commands (item_model), but it's not working and I don't understand why (Im testing with the diamond shield).

Here is the code from the diamond_shield.json so you can easily copy and paste it.

`{
"model": {
"type": "minecraft:condition",
"property": "minecraft:using_item",

"on_false": {
  "type": "minecraft:model",
  "model": "shieldman:item/diamond_shield"
},

"on_true": {
  "type": "minecraft:model",
  "model": "shieldman:item/diamond_shield"
}

}
}`

your diamond_shield.json (item definition file) has unsaved changes

[indigo flax]

I don't understand

[limpid fjord]

this dot means you have unsaved changes in your file

save it and make sure the problem isn't that you didn't save your file

[indigo flax]

It should look like this?

[indigo flax]

It didn't work

[limpid fjord]

k, are there any errors in the 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).

This is what says

[limpid fjord]

you have a bunch of faces in your model with no assigned texture

Minecraft misinterprets that as you trying to load textures from several atlases (while only one atlas is allowed).

In Blockbench, use the Optimize plugin to remove all unnecessary faces.
Alternatively select everything (Ctrl+A), rightclick the texture and click "apply to untextured faces"

!faq invalid-names

FAQ

Java: Invalid Names

Files/Folders nor reference to them are allowed to contain capital letters nor spaces.
Valid symobls are: a-z (lowercase only!) 0-9 / . _ and -

When changing a file's/folder's name, keep in mind that you also need to update all references (texture path in models, model paths in custom_model_data predicates etc.)
Disclaimer: Optifine used to allow those characters, but for a vanilla client the model will either be the error cube or it might even crash their game (depending on their specs).

[limpid fjord]

this is not a valid texture path

[indigo flax]

wich would be the correct order?

[limpid fjord]

if that texture is in your pack like this: assets/shieldman/textures/item/diamond_shield.png
Then your texture path in the model would need to look like this: "shieldman:item/diamond_shield"

[indigo flax]

Still not working 😔

[limpid fjord]

what's the error now?

[indigo flax]

why does the game says there are no textures?

[limpid fjord]

Does it show an error cube?
Or does it show the model, but with an error texture?

[indigo flax]

The cube error

[limpid fjord]

are there any errors in the output log still?
