good days

i having  suggestion about the json models works

 

as they come in 1.8 if i wanna make an animated item little more complex i need to make a separate json file for every animation frame of mi mod resulting in than to make a simeple pistol like this

 

i have to create 22 diferent json files and is not exactly the best animation

when i notice the change in the json files for the 1.9  i think for a brief this could be solved

all the textures and rotations controlled by a single file but wass not as i think

 

in the new system the old method  ModelResourceLocation getModel() just get moved to a json file and from this i must call all the other jsons using predicates :{}, soo still i have to create 22 files plus this one json replacing the getModel()

 

soo i suggest to make posible to anidate a json extructure inside another json file soo in place of doing something like this declaring four separate files

you could do something like this, all in just one file

or even more convenient give the hability of only declare the replace for the textures

well thanks for reading

and sorry im not native english speak

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

well i couldn't make it run

 

but looks more like the kind of animation you do on the chest top went open

this could be use to animate a item in hand ?

 

more exactly to create a fluid item animation to replace something like the bow tighten animation
