As I understand it, this model creator creates the 1.8 JSON models, which are used by vanilla minecraft. You can find more information here.

 

So i cant use models.json in 1.7.10? this feature is only for 1.8x?

What is your opinion about render models with Java code directly? Is hard? you have a recommendation?

Actually it is really easy to just code it directly in Java. Basically it is just a bunch of cubes that you specify that have positions, offsets and rotation (if necessary), plus some texture binding. Just look at the models for entities and it should be pretty obvious how it works.

 

I just sketch my model on graph paper, and then it is easy to code in Java.
