Code Comments in IItemRenderer.class:

@Deprecated //Unused, for now. Rendering emensely changed in 1.8, Is this even needed at all anymore?

//Modders should speak up if needed.

 

^ How can I render items based on their nbt tag without an IItemRenderer?

 

Do I have to make one json file for each possible state? That'd result in hundreds

Also I guess we have to adapt the chaos Mojang produced and keep all item json files in one folder..

Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderItem().getItemModelMesher().register(myItem, new ItemMeshDefinition() {

    @Override
    public ModelResourceLocation getModelLocation(ItemStack stack) {
        // return appropriate model based on ItemStack
    }

});

 

Thank you, that definitely helps getting my model folder organized, i'm still forced to use model jsons, right? My mod has about 150 textures that are being overlayed on 5 base textures with any combination possible. Is there no way around making 450 item model jsons?

Ah yes, of course, that'll work. Thanks a lot!
