Posted January 6, 20178 yr Hey there! So I have this blender model that is a 'crystal', however I cannot seem to find a guide on importing this into Minecraft. Some things I've seem is 'Cubik', but I don't want to spend 20 bucks on something that I'll only use a few times.. Any other suggestions? Thanks, Relatively new to modding.

January 6, 20178 yr You can use obj models instead of JSON models. VANILLA MINECRAFT CLASSES ARE THE BEST RESOURCES WHEN MODDING I will be posting 1.15.2 modding tutorials on this channel. If you want to be notified of it do the normal YouTube stuff like subscribing, ect. Forge and vanilla BlockState generator.
January 6, 20178 yr Im pretty sure it isnt possible to convert .obj to .json but if you need a tutorial on how to use .obj for rendering: [removed link to adware site] Edited April 11, 20187 yr by diesieben07 removed link to adware site

January 6, 20178 yr Author Okay It works! But its way to big in game and in the inventory! Do I have to scale it down in blender, if so what to? how would I edit the inventory model? Relatively new to modding. Currently developing: https://github.com/LambdaXV/DynamicGenerators
January 6, 20178 yr I haven't messed with .obj much but yes from what iv tried iv had to scale it down in blender, resize it down to just one of the squares like where that circle is: https://gyazo.com/d8765a05d4f7f32f5fcc42d03628f9d5
January 6, 20178 yr A second way would be like your thread title suggests to convert the obj model into a json. I haven't done such things myself, but it's quite simple. You just need to have advanced knowledge about both file formats. Both formats just store informations about the location of for example points and how they are connected to each other. You have to read the information in and then have to convert it into the Minecraft JSON format and done. Some information about both formats, though obj is the more complex one: http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Model https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavefront_.obj_file Other ways would be to write the jsons yourself, download free software which does the same as the paid software you talked about or directly use obj models in Minecraft.

It can't handle triangles, so not all obj models can be converted.
