Hi togehter,

 

In my mod I define an item-class which is used for several items with different properties.

Every single kind of this item has an own unlocalized name ("item_diarybook_digger_day_" + an integer) - but every kind of the item has the same texture.

 

Then I try to register the item using

 Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderItem().getItemModelMesher().register(ModItems.item_diarybook_digger[i], 0, new ModelResourceLocation(modid + ":item_diarybook_digger", "inventory"));

 

I hoped that a single Model-Definition, named "item_diarybook_digger.json" can be used, but I get the model definition not found error

 

[Client thread/ERROR] [FML]: Exception loading model for variant testmod:item_diarybook_digger_day_365#inventory for item "testmod:item_diarybook_digger_day_365"
java.lang.Exception: Could not load model definition for variant testmod:item_diarybook_digger_day_365#inventory

 

Is it possible to use one model-definition file for serveral items? If so: What I'm doing wrong?

 

Thanks and best,

Wait, you are making 365 different items? Why not use metadata?

Yes, it is totally possible.

What are you doing wrong?

• How is the unlocalized name relevant here?
  
• Use

  ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation

  in preInit, not the

  ItemModelMesher

  .
  

• Why generate the ModelResourceLocation painfully manually like that?

  new ModelResourceLocation(item.getRegistryName(), "inventory")

  will work fine and allow you to use the same for every item.
  

• Why are you still on 1.8.9?
  

 

If that does not fix it, post more of your code.

 

Thanks, that helped a lot. Don't know really why it was a problem. ;-)

 

We are using 1.8.9 because we don't want to have some 1.9 and 1.10 features of Minecraft within our project.

Don't worry, I am using metadata for that. My question was a general question. ;-)
