[1.10.2] How should I make the new Item Variants?

[LaureeGrd]

The last time I tried to make metadata items was in 1.7.10.

I am trying now but everything changed.

Can someone explain how to make it or at least send me a link to a good tutorial?

Items still use metadata, that hasn't changed.

 

Instead of overriding a method to return a different icon based on the metadata, you now register a model for each metadata value by calling

ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation

in preInit.

 

This thread has links to various tutorials.

Thanks! I'll take a look.

I also suggest laying out your common/client proxies to be similar to this:

I've put mine in a library mod so I can reference the methods from any child mod (hence the static methods and odd name).
