Im trying to get seperate textures for seperate "bones" in my model as you can see in the image above id like to be able to change each bone texture within the terrain_texture and the file behaviour. is this possible

[gray horizon]

Yes you need to set the material instance of each bone

[stark meadow]

how would i do that

im new to bone material instances, i just usually make a whole new texture instead of specifying the bone textures

[stark meadow]

how would i find that its not on my blockbench

nvm, found it

and how would i add that in the terrain_texture.json?

[gray horizon]

You need to add it to your material instances component

[stark meadow]

could you give me an example please ive never really done instances & bone textures like this

[gray horizon]

after you set the material instance in blockbench add this to you block json

        "*": {
          "texture": "<texture name here>",
          "render_method": "alpha_test"
        }
        "<the material instance name you set here>": {
          "texture": "<other texture name here>",
          "render_method": "alpha_test"
        }
      },```
