I'm new to Data Generators and quite unsure how they work yet. I've been taking a look at the BetterEnd mod for a reference, but I can't seem to get it working.

I've got model and blockstate files generating, but it can't seem to locate parent files which are not in the generated/resources folder like it does in the BetterEnd mod.

{
  "parent": "modid:block/parent",
  "textures": {
    "texture": "minecraft:block/green_wool"
  }
}

This is the generated model file in "src/generated/resources/assets/modid/models/block"

The parent file is just located in "src/main/resources/assets/modid/models/block"

The error I'm getting is:

[Worker-Main-9/WARN] [net.minecraft.client.renderer.model.ModelBakery/]: Unable to load model: 'modid:block/parent' referenced from: modid:block: java.io.FileNotFoundException: modid:models/block/parent.json

That error is only once, but then I get the same error for every block that has the same parent file:

[Worker-Main-9/WARN] [net.minecraft.client.renderer.model.ModelBakery/]: Unable to resolve texture reference: #missingno in modid:block/block

However, when I copy the parent file into "src/generated/resources/assets/modid/models/block" everything works fine.

 

Probably being really stupid. So let me know if you spot my mistakes.

Deleted Parent file, because everything is working suddenly....

Suddenly fixed after deleting some files. I probably was stupid
