i am trying to find a way to do diffrent varients for the json file of a item. I have looked around for examples but cannot find any. I am trying to change a items json file or have it chance its texted based on the varient.

The thing you are looking for is metadata, though I believe it is different from damage on a pickaxe or sword. And it is pretty similar to past versions.

The ARE the same thing, literally.

 

You may be interested in looking over how I handle metadata item variants.

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.

I believe what you are looking for are item property overrides. Bows use these to change textures depending on how long you hold right click down. You can check out how to do it in ItemBow at the top of the file. You also have to add an override array in your item's json file, but you can look at the vanilla bow json to see how to do that as well.
