I just started modding Minecraft 2 days ago, with a little teeny bit of experience behind me.
I already have the Proxies set up, an item created (ingot) , a block (ore) that smelts into the ingot. Im wanting a 2D texture just like everything else in minecraft, and in tutorials it used to be simply add setTextureName() now I can't find anything not talking about creating a model and making a .json file for it. I think it's a bit much to create a model and everything for an Ingot. I need to know if there is still a way to simply texture an item without a model. And if so, how.
