I have an item that I want to have a 3D model like the portal gun or gravity gun mod. I have already made the model in techie and the texture. I have also tried to follow iChun's video tutorial on how to do it, but the video is not made very well and I wasn't able to follow what he was doing. Could someone explain to me step-by-step how to do it, or at least give me some example code? Thanks!

Use IItemRenderer.

I should have explained this earlier, I am VERY new to Java, telling me to use a certain class means almost nothing to me... What I really need is an in-depth explanation on how to tell Minecraft to render an Item as a 3D model. But thanks for trying to help!

Then this is the place you should start before anything else mate

I promise you it's worth the time as you will save your self a lot more time in the future by spending time on this now before you go further.

 

This is both an intro to Java and to minecraft modding at the same time. Ending up with rather advance stuff.

Including rendering of 3d models inside a gui and other stuff!

 

Start there, then you will be much better off when you continue

 

Also this blogg is an valuable resource to have at hand when you are new to minecraft's inner workings:

Pretty much. On a side note, I feel like the BIGGEST idiot right now... I was accidentally referring to the item id in registerItemRenderer as its original item id, not example.itemID(). Well, it works now (need to get textures and scaling fixed), but thanks all for the help!

no trust me theres worst, at least you admit it

 

some peopel want to just mod and dont care when we say they should learn a bit before

 

 

but some of them dont even know how to create a method, they just know ctrl+c and ctrl+v

I feel like the BIGGEST idiot right now... I was accidentally..

 

Welcome to the most common feeling in the life of a modder
