Hi

As the title says, I want to return a .json model in third person. How would I be able to check if I was in third person and change the ModelResourceLocation of an item? I have the model, I just need to know if this is possible and if players on a multiplayer server would be able to see the third person model rather than the first person model. If I could also add that I would like to also return a texture rather than a model for the inventory (Gui) view. Thanks all in advance!

I did it in my item class, override getModel method:

@Override
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public ModelResourceLocation getModel(ItemStack stack, EntityPlayer player, int useRemaining) {
	Minecraft mc = Minecraft.getMinecraft();
	boolean isFirstPersonView = mc.thePlayer.getUniqueID().equals(player.getUniqueID()) &&
			mc.gameSettings.thirdPersonView == 0;
	if(isFirstPersonView) {
		return /* some resource */
	} else {
		return /* some other resource */
	}
}

 

That looks like that'll work! I thought about doing exactly that, but I wanted to make sure it was fullproof. May I ask why you are checking the player's unique ID? Thanks so much for the response!

Sure.

These code works on client side. When rendering other players, they are looked from your eyes. That means they are always in third view. If not check unique ID, other players' item are rendered as first view when you are in first view.

Man I sure do appreciate your help! Thanks alot! That cleared up so many things for me.
