I have an item which has two render passes, and I would like to make the second render pass be full-bright. I did this in 1.7.10 using an IItemRenderer but since that was removed I can't use it. Is there a way to do this with JSON or do have to use some hacky way of doing it? Heres my current JSON file:

 

{
    "parent" : "item/generated",
    "textures" : {
        "layer0" : "EnchantedAura:items/CrystalCircuit",
        "layer1" : "EnchantedAura:items/CrystalCircuitOverlay"
    }
}

You can do that by setting the 

"shade"

property of each model element to false.

Thats the problem: My item doesn't have a custom model. It uses the regular item model. How can I apply

shade:false

to the buildin item model?

You can still specify a model. 

"model": "item/generated"

So basically I need to create a model exactly like item/generated but with

shade:false

?

The file you gave us is a model JSON for an item.

I tried this and it doesn't work:

 

{
    "parent" : "item/generated",
    "textures" : {
        "layer0" : "EnchantedAura:items/CrystalCircuit",
        "layer1" : "EnchantedAura:items/CrystalCircuitOverlay"
    },
    "display": {
        "firstperson_righthand": {
            "rotation": [ 0, -90, 25 ],
            "translation": [ 1.13, 3.2, 1.13],
            "scale": [ 0.68, 0.68, 0.68 ],
            "shade" : false
        }
    
    }
}

 

What am I doing wrong? (Probably something really stupid)

Look at this.

http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Model

By far one of the best things I have found for documentation on models.

Definitely a page I can learn a lot from, but it still doesn't tell me how to apply

shade : false

to the buildin model. I could do this if I could look at builtin/generated.json, but I couldn't find it. Does anyone know where it is? Or is it 'built in' as the name implies?

Check the item model location in minecrafts jar file.

Yes it does.  It goes inside "elements":{}

Ok let me try to explain from the beginning: I have an item, that uses the default item model, and I want to make part of it full-bright. I can't use

shade : false

because that needs to be put in

"elements" : {}

, but my item model is the default item model so I have no

"elements" : {}

. So how do I do this?

Bump.

Obviously you add the elements "tag"(not sure if that is what it is called) to you Items Json file and add "shade": false

I tried that but it just makes my item turn into a missing texture cube.

Post your JSON with it in there.

{
    "parent" : "item/generated",
    "textures" : {
        "layer0" : "EnchantedAura:items/CrystalCircuit",
        "layer1" : "EnchantedAura:items/CrystalCircuitOverlay"
    },
    "elements": {
        "shade" : false
    }
}

You forgot the [] for elements look back at this link

http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Model

When looking at that page I saw this:

 

 

elements: Contains all the elements of the model. They can only have cubic forms. Cannot be set along side

"parent"

.

 

So I don't think I can do this using elements. I think this might be impossible.

If you are going to read just a small section, you should read it all.

"Loads a different model from the given path, starting in assets/minecraft/models. If both "parent" and "elements" are set, the "elements" tag overrides the "elements" tag from the previous model."

I tried this:

 

{
    "parent" : "item/generated",
    "textures" : {
        "layer0" : "EnchantedAura:items/CrystalCircuit",
        "layer1" : "EnchantedAura:items/CrystalCircuitOverlay"
    },
    "elements" : [{
        "shade" : false
    }]
}

 

Still missing texture cube. What am I doing wrong?  (Again, probably something really stupid)

If you read the quotes it completely overrides the elements tag, you need to go to your minecraft 1.10 jar file and find the item modrl json called generated and copy over its elements.

Unzipped 1.10.jar, searched for generated.json, the only file I found was item/generated which is a child of builtin/generated, which doesn't seem to exist. What do I do? Heres item/generated:

 

{
    "parent": "builtin/generated",
    "display": {
        "ground": {
            "rotation": [ 0, 0, 0 ],
            "translation": [ 0, 2, 0],
            "scale":[ 0.5, 0.5, 0.5 ]
        },
        "head": {
            "rotation": [ 0, 180, 0 ],
            "translation": [ 0, 13, 7],
            "scale":[ 1, 1, 1]
        },
        "thirdperson_righthand": {
            "rotation": [ 0, 0, 0 ],
            "translation": [ 0, 3, 1 ],
            "scale": [ 0.55, 0.55, 0.55 ]
        },
        "firstperson_righthand": {
            "rotation": [ 0, -90, 25 ],
            "translation": [ 1.13, 3.2, 1.13],
            "scale": [ 0.68, 0.68, 0.68 ]
        }
    }
}

I don't think it's possible to do this with the

builtin/generated

model (or models that extend it like

item/generated

), since the quads are automatically generated for each texture layer rather than specified in the model itself.

 

You'll probably need to create a clone of

ItemLayerModel

(the

IModel

used for

builtin/generated

) and its

IBakedModel

/

ICustomModelLoader

that has the option of generating unshaded (fullbright) quads for each texture layer. Although this is called

shade

in the model format, it's controlled by the

BakedQuad#applyDiffuseLighting

field in the code.

 

To control which layers are rendered unshaded, you could either hardcode it for that particular item's needs (i.e. layer 0 is shaded, layer 1 is unshaded) or make your

IModel

implement

IModelCustomData

and specify this using Forge's blockstates format (which can also be used for items, despite the name).

 

To make a block render as fullbright I had to make it emit light in addition to setting

shade

to

false

in the model; I'm not sure if

shade

is all you need for an item model.

 

You could also request that something like this be added to Forge, though I believe the rendering guy (Fry) is currently away. There's also no guarantee that the request will be accepted or implemented immediately.

I played around with events and got this:

 

 

Using this code:

@SubscribeEvent
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public void onItemFrameRender(RenderItemInFrameEvent event) {
	if (event.getItem().getItem() == EnchantedAura.circuit) {
		Minecraft.getMinecraft().entityRenderer.disableLightmap();
	}
}

 

However because I don't re-enable the light map, this happens:

 

 

Without the item:

 

 

Is there something like the old IItemRenderer that would allow me to render layer 0 of my item, turn off the light map, render layer 1 of my item, then turn the light map back on?
