I've seen a few mods do this and wanted to explore it a little. I want my item two have 2 damage bars. One that fills based on an nbt value and the original minecraft damage bar.

 

Anyone knows where to start?

1.9 I might update if not too much has changed

You will have to make models for the different states of the bar then and use an

ItemMeshDefinition

(registered with

ModelLoader.setCustomMeshDefinition

) to assign the correct model to an

ItemStack

.

 

Do I put all the textures in one file or I need 1 file for each different state?

 

Also I see how to use the interface however that raises another issue.

 

How do I make 1 model from 2 separate models?

What do you mean by that?

 

He wants to take an item model (a model for MyItemFoo) and combine it with a damage bar model.  This is so he can add that same bar to another item's model (a model for MyItemBaz) without having to create two different models that have their own bars pre-rendered.

Combine their list of BakedQuads into one.

 

How do I get access to those baked quads? Where are they from?
