I'd like to have better way of making model for an item using BLOCKSTATES. I know it's possible, but i don't know how, because there is a lot of methods which are defined for blocks, or use block as on of the parameters, so i can't use them.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

I couldn't find anything on the internet

 

Thanks in advance

What do you want to accomplish with your item model (why do you want to use blockstates)?

Basically, yes.

Thanks, after weeks of misery possibility of solution appears

I can't understand that file properly, so, could you explain me what does this do?

Here is some info about what i want to do:

I have item called item detector which can be assembled from 4 different parts, and also show some information when it detects something. So there is a lot of combinations for using normal model file and predicates. So i was trying to use MULTIPART blockstates, but the item just didn't render at all even when i put just one apply in it without any conditions. Here is one of the topics i made on fore forum about this:

And i want to try to use FORGE BLOCKSTATE JSON for this, because something should work. I looked at TConstruct github and the mod uses the forge blockstates for making the tools, but the code is too advanced and complicated to understand it, so i couldn't learn from that.

THANKS once more and please explain it little bit more please.

 

 

 

Oh. No, what I linked won't work for you. 

What I linked is only for metadata.

Hmmm, can i set different model locations with code?

Btw, what is the ItemMeshDefinition for?

It's for passing in a resource location to the ModelBakery:

ModelBakery.registerItemVariants((Item)item, meshDef.getModelLocation(variantStack));

 

And here's the various models:

Ok, so what am i supposed to do?

 

I can't use IItemWithMeshDefinition because it's your own interface, so will you please explain to me what am i supposed to do?

Or should i just copy everything from you and try to stich it together myself using my own intuition?

NGAAAAHHHHH

It was an interface I created to handle the types of operations I was doing.

AND WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?

Seriously, do you have ping like 20 000 000 miliseconds????? (approx. 5,5 hours)
Or why are you answering something else than i asked?

Ok, seriously, this isn't that hard.  And I'm not always here.  Your posts two hours ago I was asleep.

 

This is the important part: You need to pass a mesh definition to the ModelBakery:

https://github.com/Draco18s/ReasonableRealism/blob/master/src/main/java/com/draco18s/hardlib/client/ClientEasyRegistry.java#L123

 

Because of how I want my code set up I created an interface to get this information from an item rather than creating it at the point of registration.

 

What's an item mesh definition?

https://github.com/Draco18s/ReasonableRealism/blob/master/src/main/java/com/draco18s/industry/item/ItemCastingMold.java#L81

That. That is a vanilla class/interface. And everything that happens inside is is the part you will need to write yourself.

 

IItemWithMeshDefinition is the only thing I made (plus how to turn my NBT data into a model resource location), you don't have to recreate it if you don't want to.

I started setting this up, and if i understand this correctly, you're just making multiple different models.

I need one model for every combination - that makes  7 093 or 63 837 different models.

(depends if i want one part to be visible or not)

 

R E A L L Y   N O T

F E E L  I N G   U P

T O   I T  R  I G H T

N O W .  S O R R Y .

That's the whole reason i was trying to use multipart / forge blockstate JSON

Please correct me, if am i understanding this wrong

Edited March 3, 20178 yr by Villfuk02

Blockstates don't solve the models problem. All it does is solve the mapping (the Cartesian product of multiple properties) from state to model.

 

If you want to do models, you're going to need to make your own IModel (possibly with some other interfaces, like IPerspectiveAwareModel) implementation.

but if i have different blockstates stored in a block, i can use Forge Blockstate JSON

 

Blockstates != Models.

I can merge models together with it

I have one last idea:
I'll make block and the detector is going to be it's item.

That could work
