Bit of a weird question, but I want to be able to organise my long list of json files for my block models better (by grouping them up in folders). This, I have been able to achieved fine, my problem is organising the folders for the block models in the players inventory (assets/<modname>/models/item). No matter how I put it, they will not work. The inventory models only works if its in the root item folder.

 

Here is all the relevant info:

 

Pic of directory:

 

 

/blockstates/alchemicalCraftingTable.json

 

{
  "variants": {
    "facing=north": { "model": "alchemistscookbook:alchemicalCraftingTable/alchemicalCraftingTable_north"},
"facing=east": { "model": "alchemistscookbook:alchemicalCraftingTable/alchemicalCraftingTable_east"},
"facing=south": { "model": "alchemistscookbook:alchemicalCraftingTable/alchemicalCraftingTable_south"},
"facing=west": { "model": "alchemistscookbook:alchemicalCraftingTable/alchemicalCraftingTable_west"}
  }
}

 

/models/block/alchemicalCraftingTable/alchemicalCraftingTable_east.json

 

{
"textures": {
    "particle": "alchemistscookbook:blocks/alchemicalCraftingTable_cauldron",
    "texture": "alchemistscookbook:blocks/alchemicalCraftingTable_cauldron",
    "alchemicalCraftingTable_craftingGrid": "alchemistscookbook:blocks/alchemicalCraftingTable_craftingGrid",
    "alchemicalCraftingTable_table": "alchemistscookbook:blocks/alchemicalCraftingTable_table"
},

// Then a bunch of model stuff

 

/models/item/alchemicalCraftingTable/alchemicalCraftingTable.json

 

{
  "parent":"alchemistscookbook:block/alchemicalCraftingTable/alchemicalCraftingTable_east",
  "display": {

      "scale": [ 0.375, 0.375, 0.375 ]

Does anyone know what I need to change so that it works properly and so I can organised my item model files?

 

(All the models work when I place them, just not when I have to item in my inventory)

You need to find a way to specify the model resource location's path; the only way I know of to do this is to use ModelBakeEvent to swap out the default /items/model.json for your item model with a new one that has the correct path.

 

You can also register item variants using

ModelBakery.addVariantName(Item, String...)

- it may be possible to add in the extra directories this way, e.g.:

String model_path = "modid:relative/path/to/model/model_name";
ModelBakery.addVariantName(this, model_path);

 

Remember also you will probably need to register the item renderer using your new path (in fact, this may be the only thing required - haven't tested it personally):

mesher.register(this, 0, new ModelResourceLocation(model_path, "inventory"));
