No, the problem is that you didn't correctly create a valid JSON file, here's the underlying error you had: Caused by: com.google.gson.JsonSyntaxException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Not a JSON Object: "techmod:cablecar_track_normal" And your original JSON: "north": { "submodel": { "model": "techmod:cablecar_track_normal" } } "model" (or rather, the first child of "submodel") is expected to be an Object and you have a string. If you look at your corrected JSON file: "north": { "submodel": { "track": { "model": "techmod:cablecar_track_normal" } } } You can see that now you have an Object child of "submodel" If we look at the docs...we see two examples: 1: { // if it is true, it will add the wall model and combine it with the pressure plate "submodel": "wall_n" }, 2: { "submodel": { "pillar1": { "model": "wall_n" }, "pillar2": { "model": "wall_n", "y": 90 } } } Yes, the one that has named objects does have TWO of them, but look carefully at how the first example is handled. "submodel" here is a key for a string! You made it a key for an object that then contained a string! If you had done this instead: "north": { "submodel": "techmod:cablecar_track_normal" } Everything would have been fine.

Show your code.

== works just fine.

Trees can generate across chunk boarders.

You need to synchronize your data. https://github.com/Draco18s/ReasonableRealism/blob/1.12.1/src/main/java/com/draco18s/farming/entities/TileEntityTanner.java#L174 https://github.com/Draco18s/ReasonableRealism/blob/1.12.1/src/main/java/com/draco18s/farming/entities/TileEntityTanner.java#L95

This code is out of date because I haven't updated the mod past 1.7, but sojourn give you an idea: https://github.com/Draco18s/HarderStuff/blob/master/src/main/java/com/draco18s/hazards/client/HazardsClientEventHandler.java#L138

Add "parent": "block/block" to your bock model instead. Then you don't have to respecify all of the display tags.

See this comment: https://github.com/MinecraftForge/MinecraftForge/pull/4549#discussion_r153260543

You do not need a TESR for this and likely as not, a TESR can't do this. You want to subscribe to one of the rendering events and just render whatever you want.

I was just about to suggest that

Show this code: Preferably the whole class.

Code style issue 1

Show how you register your item model.

Then...move it.

No, it is not the same thing. TileEntities should be rare, but in either case, if you have one, you do need to register it. However, that is not your problem here. Registering two items is not the same as registering the same thing twice.

Because the method is not a static method: Item.isInCreativeTab() can't be invoked directly. You need an instance: Item i = ...; i.isInCreativeTab();

Your ServerProxy class does not extend anything.

I forgot to include the link, sorry.

ChatComponentTranslation or TextComponentTranslation

Problematic code #5 ItemStacks can't be null ( @diesieben07 this could be added to the list)

You need to create your own IRecipe implementation.

Yes, it is.

HardLib is a "main mod class." I could have done "this" as well. And because I need to get is class loader. From which I then call getResourceAsStream() The byte array holds data between the buffer reader and the buffet writer. Lines 62 and 64. The buyer writer in this case being to a normal File object.

Funny. I thought I said that.

You can't do it like this. Even if you did get it working, it wound fall the moment you compiled your mod into a jar because then your assets don't exist as files on the drive, but contents of a zipped file. This code may help: https://github.com/Draco18s/ReasonableRealism/blob/master/src/main/java/com/draco18s/hardlib/CogHelper.java#L56
