Hi,

 

I'm currently looking into the Forge json file system, (so the ones with "forge_marker": 1) cause I was using always

the vanilla system but now I want to use the forge one.

 

So I've got one question: For the Forge json system, do I still need the jsons in models.block and models.item?

 

Thx in advance.

it depends on how you're making your model..if you're using a JSON model (ala Crayfish's Model Creator or the like), then yes

Well, currently I'm only using the standard block model with a different texture for my blocks.

Then a blockstate.json is enough.

Ok, then I'm wondering why it is not rendering in the inventory (just shows a missing texture plane there, in the world it renders correctly):

 

{
    "forge_marker": 1,
    "defaults": {
       	"textures": {
       	    "all": "primevalforest:blocks/grass_top"
       	}
    },
    "variants": {
        "normal": { "model": "cube_all" },
        "inventory": { "model": "cube_all" }
    }
}

 

And for these normal blocks:

Do I still have to do this:

Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderItem().getItemModelMesher().register(Item.getItemFromBlock(block), meta, new ModelResourceLocation(block.getRegistryName(), "inventory"));

Or can I remove that line of code?

Use ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation instead.

Ok, but it does still not render correctly in the inventory and in the hand.

ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation(Item.getItemFromBlock(BlockList.modSand), 0, new ModelResourceLocation(BlockList.modSand.getRegistryName(), "inventory"));

And yeah, it's actually a sand block with a grass texture because I've got no other texture yet.

 

EDIT:

[00:31:40] [Client thread/DEBUG] [FML/]: Item json isn't found for 'primevalforest:sand#inventory', trying to load the variant from the blockstate json

That's all what the log says. It shows this error two times.

If the problem is solved, post the solution so others having similar problems can find it in the future.

Solution: ItemBlock has to be registered to be rendered extra.
