A question about Blockstates(1.10.2)

[Degubi]

I have a blockstate file: http://pastebin.com/raFBt3J3

The blockmodel works, but the item model doesn't.

And it gives me an error like this: Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: minecraft:models/block/item/ladder.json

My question is: Why does the game look for the model in models/block/item when I told in the blockstate file to look in the "item" folder?

Models specified in blockstates files are always relative to assets/<domain>/models/block.

You also have to remember that Minecraft bases everything off items, not blocks. (Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe you can't create a block without an item for said block as well.) And that is because every block has to be able to go into an inventory (chest, furnace, hopper, character, etc.) That probably doesn't help any errors you are encountering but it is the best explanation I can give.

This isn't the case. It's entirely possible to have a

Block

with no

Item

form (e.g. air, water and lava) or an

Item

that isn't a standard

ItemBlock

(e.g. cake, sugar cane).

 

If a

Block

has no

Item

form, it simply can't exist in inventories.

See, I stand corrected! Thanks for the explanation.

Don't forget blocks like the piston head or the portal block.
