How do I set an item texture? I have a JSON file and PNG file. I remember the old way of doing it which was this.setTextureName but that doesn't work anymore for 1.8.8 and up. Here is my code

 

 

 

package com.ren3dm.ExpandedFood;

import com.ren3dm.ExpandedFood.Reference;
import net.minecraft.client.Minecraft;
import net.minecraft.client.resources.model.ModelResourceLocation;
import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemFood;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLInitializationEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.registry.LanguageRegistry;


public class Food{

public static Item Bagel;

public static void registerRenders() 
{

	registerRender(Bagel);

}

public static void registerRender(Item item) 
{

	Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderItem().getItemModelMesher().register(item, 0,  new ModelResourceLocation(Reference.MOD_ID + ":" + item.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5), "inventory"));


}

public static void Init() 
{

	Bagel = new ItemFood(3, 0.9f, false).setUnlocalizedName("Bagel").setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabFood).setMaxStackSize(64);

}

public static void register()
{

	GameRegistry.registerItem(Bagel, Bagel.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5));

}

 

package com.ren3dm.ExpandedFood;

import com.ren3dm.ExpandedFood.proxy.ServerP;

import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod.EventHandler;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.SidedProxy;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLInitializationEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLPostInitializationEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLPreInitializationEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.event.FMLServerStartingEvent;

@Mod(modid = Reference.MOD_ID, name = Reference.MOD_NAME, version = Reference.VERSION)
public class Main
{

@SidedProxy(clientSide = Reference.MOD_CLIENT_PROXY, serverSide = Reference.MOD_SERVER_PROXY)
public static ServerP proxy;



@EventHandler
public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event) 
{
	Food.Init();
	Food.register();


} 
@EventHandler
public void Init(FMLInitializationEvent event) 
{
	proxy.registerRenders();

}
@EventHandler
public void postInit(FMLPostInitializationEvent event) 
{

}

@EventHandler
public void serverLoad(FMLServerStartingEvent event) {

}


}

 

 

My json is in: assets.expandedfood.models.item

 

My PNG is in: assets.expandedfood.textures.items

 

My JSON is named: Bagel.json

 

My PNG is named: Bagel.png

 

The text inside my JSON is:

{
"parent": "item/generated"
"textures": {
	"layer0": "expandedfood:items/Bagel"
},
"display": {
	"thirdperson": {
		"rotation": [-90, 0, 0],
		"translation": [0, 1, -3],
		"scale": [0.55, 0.55, 0.55 ]
	},
	"firstperson": {
		"rotation": [0, -135, 25 ],
		"translation": [0, 4, 2 ],
		"scale": [1.7, 1.7, 1.7]
	}
}
}

The text inside my JSON is:

 

That's your mcmod.info file, which while it contains JSON content is not an item json model.

Oops. I forgot to paste the JSON file. Fixed!

If you're using item/generated as the parent, you don't need the display block at all.  item/generated takes care of it for you.

 

Also, when you say your texture/model is at "assets.expandedfood.models.item" do you have nested folders or one folder with periods in its name?

 

Because you need the former.

package com.ren3dm.ExpandedFood;

You probably do not own that domain.

 

Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderItem().getItemModelMesher().register(item, 0,  new ModelResourceLocation(Reference.MOD_ID + ":" + item.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5), "inventory"));

This is outdated and broken. You should be using ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation in preInit in your client proxy. You cannot have client-only code like this in classes that will be loaded on a server. Moreover please don't use the unlocalized name to generate the model location. A much simpler way:

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

.

 

setUnlocalizedName("Bagel")

Your unlocalized names should include your ModID to avoid conflicts with other mods.

 

GameRegistry.registerItem(Bagel, Bagel.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5));

GameRegistry.registerItem is deprecated, update to the new version. As above, please don't use the unlocalized name to generate the registry name. If you want to only have an identifying string in one place, generate the unlocalized name from the registry name (

setUnlocalizedName(getRegistryName().toString())

), this will also solve the above problem, as the registry name will include your ModID by default.

 

"display": {

"thirdperson": {

"rotation": [-90, 0, 0],

"translation": [0, 1, -3],

"scale": [0.55, 0.55, 0.55 ]

},

"firstperson": {

"rotation": [0, -135, 25 ],

"translation": [0, 4, 2 ],

"scale": [1.7, 1.7, 1.7]

}

}

You do not need all this stuff, it is included in the "item/generated" model already, which you have set as the parent.

 

I am using forge 1.8.8 not he latest 1.11. I tried that and I just get errors when I put it in.

If you're using item/generated as the parent, you don't need the display block at all.  item/generated takes care of it for you.

 

Also, when you say your texture/model is at "assets.expandedfood.models.item" do you have nested folders or one folder with periods in its name?

 

Because you need the former.

The folders are nested.
