How does de new item & block textures works?

[Kander16]

Hi,

 

I was trying to update my mod to version 1.8, but I got a problem with the setTexture name.

I have been looking for it in the Item.class file, Is it now with the setUnlocalizedName to?

 

Thanks.

i can't get it to work either, but from what i understand, for items you need a model file with the name of the string item id like this:

(<modid> is the mod id of your mod, <itemid> is the string item id of your item, same with <blockid> but for your block, <texture> is the name of your texture file without ".png", <model> is the string entered into the blockstate file)

/src/main/resources/assets/<modid>/models/item/<itemid>.json:

{
    "parent": "builtin/generated",
    "textures": {
        "layer0": "<modid>:items/<texture>"
    },
    "display": {
        "thirdperson": {
            "rotation": [ -90, 0, 0 ],
            "translation": [ 0, 1, -3 ],
            "scale": [ 0.55, 0.55, 0.55 ]
        },
        "firstperson": {
            "rotation": [ 0, -135, 25 ],
            "translation": [ 0, 4, 2 ],
            "scale": [ 1.7, 1.7, 1.7 ]
        }
    }
}

and for blocks you need both a blockstate file which has the name of the string block id and a model file.

/src/main/resources/assets/<modid>/blockstates/<blockid>.json:

{
    "variants": {
        "normal": [
            { "model": "<model>" },
            { "model": "<model>", "y": 90 },
            { "model": "<model>", "y": 180 },
            { "model": "<model>", "y": 270 }
        ]
    }
}

/src/main/resources/assets/<modid>/models/block/<model>.json:

{
    "parent": "block/cube_all",
    "textures": {
        "all": "blocks/<texture>"
    }
}

hope this helped. it's not working for me for some reason, but it might do for you. this is the way i've seen most other people do it. also the unlocalizedName doesnt affect the texture, the id does

Hi

 

There is a fair bit of information about item and block rendering here;

http://greyminecraftcoder.blogspot.com.au/p/list-of-topics.html

see the sections under Blocks and under Items.

 

There is also a working example project here - see example MBE01

Sigurd is right, there is no such thing as setTexture anymore.

 

What sigurd has below is right except for a minor detail

block model should be in /blockstates/<blockid>.json and should have

 

You also need to register the block and (at the moment)  manually register the item model with the mesher 

Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderItem().getItemModelMesher().register(itemBlockSimple, DEFAULT_ITEM_SUBTYPE, itemModelResourceLocation);

do you actually need to register it like that? i get the same messages in my log regardless. i thought that was just in the really early 1.8 builds

Hi

 

You could be right, I haven't tried it in the last couple of weeks.  I'll give it a go.

 

Edit: I just tried it, you still need it.  You get a missing texture otherwise (no error in the console but the model renders as the missing model cube).
