Different textures for an item

[honn3x]

is it possible to create an item with several different texture variations that change as the "NBT" tag changes as well? (e.g. I'm currently making a "bandage" system, where if the player bleeds, the bandage should change the texture to another bandage with more blood, eg:

change "bandage_layer_1" to "bandage2_layer_1" when NBT "bloodCount:1" -> NBT "bloodCount:2"

{I don't know exactly if NBT would be the ideal use to "count" the amount of blood, if there is another better way please let me know... (I want this count to be per item)}

the bandage model change must be done the same way the shield change models 
and it has to be done whit a capability 
for some reason nbt fails to read part of the times from the client side

yep, nbt in item stack is fine.

if a system worked "part of the time", trust me it would not exist for years. it's simply a storage format - a WAY to write data. it can not "not work" because it doesn't do anything magically on it's own.

in the old version i have some issues animating mi guns  
i set some System.outs to figure out what was happends and from the class reading the value to chose what model to render  was returning zeroes when it was a value on it 
ModItemModelProperties.make_bow_bow( ItemInit.BOW_CARBON.get() );

	//###### ###### ###### ###### ###### ######
public static void make_bow_bow(Item item) {
ItemProperties.register(item, new ResourceLocation("pull"), (helditem, warudo, le, p_174638_) -> {
//ItemModelsProperties.register(item, new ResourceLocation("pull"), (helditem, warudo, le) -> {

if (le == null) {
return 0.0F;
} else {
CompoundTag tags = helditem.getTag();
int anim = tags.getInt("anim");
System.out.println("anim=" + anim);

return anim;
}
});
}
	

anim was return zeroes most of the time this code fires in average 3 times per tick so it must be like 000 111 222 333 but was more like 

000 010 000 033

yeah, i should have probably been more verbose.

yes, nbt in item stack is fine. it will persist through putting an item in chest, pulling it out, tossing it onto the ground and quitting and restarting the game.

but it will not automatically be transferred to client where we need it in order to have property-dependent textures.

still, if it's a simple property (number of bandage usages in this case), you should be okay by maintaining both client and server values in item use event.
