[1.9.4] [SOLVED] item.json not loading model

Posted May 24, 20169 yr

I am trying to load an item's model and .png using a .json file, but the item just loads as a pink and black block.

here is my .json code:

{

    "parent": "builtin/generated",
    "textures": {
    
        "layer0": "firstmod:items/cheese"
    
    },
    "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]
        
        }
    
    }

}

I have also pinned some errors in the debug console that I think may help with this situation. Also, I have a picture of my package viewer if that is useful:

Debug Errors: http://pastebin.com/UuPFLeiU

Package View: width=326 height=284 http://img.prntscr.com/img?url=http://i.imgur.com/ccmLcY5.png[/img]

So, how would I be able to render the object as the .png without it looking like a massive pink and blue block? If you need more information on the project (more code, images, etc.), I will be more than happy to provide it.

Thank you!

Show where you register your item and the model.

gladly!

Here is the code for the class MyItems.java (which is where the registering takes place):

package wes.firstmod.init;


import wes.firstmod.FirstMod;

import net.minecraft.client.Minecraft;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.block.model.ModelResourceLocation;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraft.util.ResourceLocation;
import net.minecraftforge.client.model.ModelLoader;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;

public class MyItems
{

public static Item cheese;

/*public static void preInit()
{



}*/

public static void register()
{

	Item cheeseName = cheese.setRegistryName("cheese");

	GameRegistry.register(cheeseName);

}

public static void init()
{

	cheese = new Item().setUnlocalizedName("cheese");

}

public static void registerRender(Item item)
{

	ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation(item, 0, new ModelResourceLocation(FirstMod.MODID + ":" + item.getRegistryName(), "inventory"));

}

public static void registerRenders()
{

	registerRender(cheese);

}

}

Also, in the class FirstMod.java, the registries are called (forgot to add this previously, my apologies):

package wes.firstmod;


import net.minecraft.init.Blocks;
import net.minecraft.init.Items;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;

import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod.EventHandler;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLInitializationEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLPostInitializationEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLPreInitializationEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;
import wes.firstmod.init.MyItems;



@Mod(modid = FirstMod.MODID, version = FirstMod.VERSION)

public class FirstMod
{

public static final String MODID = "firstmod";
public static final String VERSION = "1.0";

@EventHandler
public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event)
{

	MyRecipes.addRecipes();
	MyItems.init();
	MyItems.register();

}
    
@EventHandler
public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event)
{

	MyRecipes.addRecipes();
	MyItems.registerRenders();

}

@EventHandler
public void postInit(FMLPostInitializationEvent event)
{



}

}

Items are registered in preInit()

[1.21.3] How to add effects to food?

game changed the way you create foods.
for example minecraft 1.21.8 code for the golden apple is

Foods.java
public static final FoodProperties GOLDEN_APPLE = new FoodProperties.Builder().nutrition(4).saturationModifier(1.2F).alwaysEdible().build();

Items.java
public static final Item GOLDEN_APPLE = registerItem("golden_apple", new Item.Properties().food(Foods.GOLDEN_APPLE, Consumables.GOLDEN_APPLE));

Consumables.java
public static final Consumable GOLDEN_APPLE = defaultFood() .onConsume( new ApplyStatusEffectsConsumeEffect( List.of(new MobEffectInstance(MobEffects.REGENERATION, 100, 1), new MobEffectInstance(MobEffects.ABSORPTION, 2400, 0)) ) )
