I had created this model and texture yesterday by following a tutorial which created it as a java block/item. saved the texture and the json files and replaced them in the model and texture folders to no avail.

where are the mod's textures and models located?

[wicked sinew]

from what I gathered I have the model in models/items/ and the textures in textures/models/armor/

cause in armor i have png files and in items I have a json

I also have a .geo.json file which in workbench opens to this

and idk what to do with that tbh

[grave dune]

do the models have animations?

[wicked sinew]

there is an animation folder but there are no files with the item's name and I don't recall seeing animations in game

[grave dune]

hmm

[wicked sinew]

I can send the .jar if you wanna have a look at it

[grave dune]

you might not be able to do this using resource packs

[wicked sinew]

initially I wanted to do this with a datapack, mostly cause I had not made a resource pack before, but I was told to make it as a resource pack

I also have a .class file for the item
