Mysterious Minecraft models

[DinoPawz]

I cannot find the mc 1.19.2 assets anywhere so I have no clues to models or blockstates. However, the minecraft log helps us generate our blockstate files. But we appear to be completely in the dark when it comes to using the minecraft models. I have successfully made planks, logs, leaves, pressure plates, buttons, but am unable to make potted saplings, trapdoors, fence gates, doors, slabs, etc, because the minecraft models have changed since 1.12. Does minecraft wants us to create and use our own models instead of theirs? If so, why does the output file help us create the blockstate files? Do they read this and respond, oh someone can use some of our models, quick we had better change them so they cannot. Minecraft is so changing stuff for the sake of changing it, changing pos.up and pos.down to pos.above and pos.below is a prime example of that. They just don't appear to support modded minecraft.

That's a lot of accusation for somebody who doesn't know what they are doing. 🙂

How do think other moders or resource pack developers get this information?

 

You probably have many copies of these files on your disk right now.

e.g. in your minecraft installation, you can find these assets in 

MINECRAFT_FOLDER/versions/1.19.2/1.19.2,jar

another would be one in your gradle cache if you are using ForgeGradle

YOUR_HOME_DIR/.gradle/caches/forge_gradle/minecraft_repo/versions/1.19.2/client.jar

Well, the information is not willingly given if we have to unzip their jar file. Intellij gives us all the 1.19.2 minecraft java code, but why not the minecraft assets anymore?

That is not the minecraft code.

Mojang don't give you that either. Minecraft is not an open source project. 🙂

The source code you can see is a decompiled/deobfuscated version created by ForgeGradle.
