Do I only need a .json file to add my texture for my items are not working.

You need a png file too.

Do I only need a .json file to add my texture for my items are not working.

 

Yes I have but it doen't works all my names are the good so idk any more whats wrong

Have look here on Git (http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php/topic,26267.0.html).

 

If you can't solve your problem (look deeply), post your code and .json's.

I still can't find it so here is my code.

 

The code that makes my item:

package com.penguinw.init;

import net.minecraft.client.Minecraft;
import net.minecraft.client.resources.model.ModelResourceLocation;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;

import com.penguinw.Reference;

public class PenguinWitems {

public static Item copper_ingot;

public static void init()  {
	copper_ingot = new Item().setUnlocalizedName("copper_ingot");
}

public static void register()
{
	GameRegistry.registerItem(copper_ingot, copper_ingot.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5));
}

public static void registerRenders()
{
	registerRender(copper_ingot);
}

public static void registerRender(Item item)
{
	Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderItem().getItemModelMesher().register(item, 0, new ModelResourceLocation(Reference.MOD_ID + ":" + item.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5), "inventory"));
}
}

The .json file:

{
    "parent": "builtin/generated",
    "textures": {
        "layer0": "pw:items/copper_ingot"
    },
    "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 ]
        }
    }
}

 

my picture is named:

copper_ingot.png

item.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5)

 

It still has .name on the end of it, which means the model file it looks for would have to be "copper_ingot.name.json"

item.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5)

 

It still has .name on the end of it, which means the model file it looks for would have to be "copper_ingot.name.json"

 

eum... now it can't even find my .json file

 

[20:33:45] [Client thread/WARN]: Missing model for: pw:item/copper_ingot

From what I understand it now finds the model file but not the texture file

 

"layer0": "pw:items/copper_ingot"

 

Which is apparently what's missing.

If I call my file "copper_ingot.json" it can find the model file but if I call it "copper_ingot.name.json" it can.

So I think it can't find my .png file
