Hello I am new to this forum and programming I am just starting. Would it be possible for my food to have the animation of an arc and not the conventional one of eating, for example?

thanks for the documentation, but how could I use the bow animation already existing? I don't want to create a custom one, that one already exists by default, I think.

You know this question has been asked and answered "a million times" before in various forms in this forum?

Along with all the potential "gotchas" that people commonly get wrong.

 

Anyway:

For the vanilla animations there is Item.getUseAnimation().

For the bow you will also need to understand ItemProperties https://forge.gemwire.uk/wiki/Item_Properties and how they interact with model overrides.

This is the vanilla bow model: https://github.com/misode/mcmeta/blob/assets/assets/minecraft/models/item/bow.json

 

Or here's some mods on github that reference UseAnim.BOW and so might similar to whatever you are trying to do?

https://github.com/search?q=UseAnim.BOW&type=code

 

That should be enough hints on what to research?

Ultimately, you would be better off looking at ItemInHandRenderer and ItemRenderer (then following the rabbit hole) to see how all this fits together.

 

Finally, this is a support forum not a learn modding forum.

Questions like "can you tell me how to", "do you have an example", "insert question answered on wiki" will likely just get ignored.

I only answered this question because it is your first post, I very nearly didn't.

Come back when you have a problem with something you have actually tried to implement. That way you will also have a better chance at understanding any answers you do get.

I understand and thank you for taking the time and trouble to respond.
