[1.11] Converting .OBJ files to .JSON?

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,

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.

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?

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

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:

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.

The Json format only handles quads. It can't handle triangles, so not all obj models can be converted.

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.

Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked.

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

How do I remove 3d headlayer on NPC's skin in CustomNpc? (1.16.5)

I do have to add that this is my answer for 1.12.2 but it should ALSO work for future versions.

I know this was posted almost 3 years ago but this is for anyone who is still looking for an answer.

First, find your config folder. -> C:\Users\ (desktop user's name) \curseforge(or the application where you've downloaded you mod)\minecraft\Instances\config (The config folder should be in the same folder as your mods folder.) Once you click on the config folder, search for CustomNpcs.cfg. Once found, click on it (you can edit it using notepad) and search for the line "headweartype". Set the value to 0 if you want a 2d head layer, set it to 1 for a 3d head layer. Then save the options and you should be good to go from there! :)

[1.21.3] How to add effects to food?

game changed the way you create foods.
for example minecraft 1.21.8 code for the golden apple is

Foods.java
public static final FoodProperties GOLDEN_APPLE = new FoodProperties.Builder().nutrition(4).saturationModifier(1.2F).alwaysEdible().build();

Items.java
public static final Item GOLDEN_APPLE = registerItem("golden_apple", new Item.Properties().food(Foods.GOLDEN_APPLE, Consumables.GOLDEN_APPLE));

Consumables.java
public static final Consumable GOLDEN_APPLE = defaultFood() .onConsume( new ApplyStatusEffectsConsumeEffect( List.of(new MobEffectInstance(MobEffects.REGENERATION, 100, 1), new MobEffectInstance(MobEffects.ABSORPTION, 2400, 0)) ) )
