[1.19.3] - Item texures

[vedroyder]

Hi!

I've got multiple custom items in my mod, and I want them to have the same exact texture.

As I know in recent versions of Forge you've got to specify the textures in separate json files, but it would take forever as I have too much of items.

In older versions it was something like Item.getResourceLocation().

You must have a model per item, that's how its worked since I think 1.13?

 

You can use datagen if you want to programmatically generate lots of models:

https://forge.gemwire.uk/wiki/Datageneration/States_and_Models

 

This code generates the "standard" item model with a texture the same name as the item, so instead just hard wire the texture to your common one.

That's how Mojang does theirs, although they use a slightly more complicated "ModelTemplates" system, see the vanilla ItemModelGenerators.

Isn't that a bit too much of work to do to just specify a texture for an item? I mean seriously, wtf?
And I don't want to generate lots of models, I just want only 1 model to be used by some of my items with different IDs.
