So I have a Class extending ItemModelProvider to generate the .json files for my items models.

The one problem I'm having is when I want to generate the item for a block.

In this case I'm using the method `withExistingParent` but the problem is that when I point to the "parent" (in this case the model for the block itself) it complains about that file not existing. And while it's true that it doesn't exists, it does exist on the "generated" resources.

withExistingParent(ModItems.BLACK_STONE_ITEM.get().getRegistryName().getPath(),
				new ResourceLocation(ModInfo.MOD_ID, "block/black_stone"));

So my question is, how do I point to that folder instead of the "regular" resources folder?

Solved

Ok so... After looking around a bit more I found out the solution. I didn't need to create the model for my BlockItem from my ItemModelProvider, but instead from my BlockStateProvider using the method `simpleBlockItem`

That registered the model for the item of the block without any issue.
