Lately, I've been stuck trying to give certain 'energy' tools a different texture, depending on whether the player is holding the tool or not. The tools should how up in an 'active' state when held, and in a 'dormant' state otherwise. The code for the switching of states work jut fine, but I cannot figure out how to change the texture depending on the state. Either changing the texture altogether or adding a second layer onto an existing texture works for me. Thanks in advance!
Here is all the (potentially) relevant code:

import net.minecraft.entity.Entity;

import net.minecraft.world.World;


public class ItemModEnergyAxe extends ItemModAxe {

    ItemModEnergyAxe(String unlocalizedName, ToolMaterial material) {
        super(unlocalizedName, material);
    }

    ItemModEnergyAxe(String unlocalizedName, ToolMaterial material, String[] toolTip) {
        super(unlocalizedName, material, toolTip);
    }

    public String getUnlocalizedName(ItemStack stack) {
        if (stack.hasTagCompound()) {
            return "item.energy_axe_" + stack.getTagCompound().getString("state");
        }
        return "item.energy_axe_dormant";
    }

    public void onUpdate(ItemStack stack, World worldIn, Entity entityIn, int itemSlot, boolean isSelected) {
        if (stack.getTagCompound() == null) {
            stack.setTagCompound(new NBTTagCompound());
        }
        stack.getTagCompound().setString("state", isSelected ? "active" : "dormant");
    }
}

Stumped on this same thing. I want the item from an earlier thread of mine to change textures when the NBT "Amount" is set. Would appreciate help!

You can probably use an IItemPropertyGetter, which can be used to change item models based on certain criteria. They are used by bows to change the texture depending on how long you have been holding down right click, for example. You can see how to use them in ItemBow and its associated json files.

 

Edit: Also this post if you want another example.

Alternatively,

https://github.com/Draco18s/ReasonableRealism/blob/master/src/main/java/com/draco18s/hardlib/client/ClientEasyRegistry.java#L103-L109

 

Rather a bit more complicated, but very flexible.

I've looked around a bit, and I believe IItemPropertyGetter is a 1.9+ interface. Could you point me to the exact location of the interface so I can doublecheck?

I notice you are using libraries I do not have. I haven't much experience with using libraries myself, but I'm not sure this helps out.

 

Still, I thank you both for the quick replies.

All the libraries I use are my own.  They're in the same repository.

 

In fact, my second link is in said library.  It shows how I use the interface I created in order to let the Item class dictate how it should handle its own NBT data for rendering, rather than having it externally.  It's not any different than vanilla's IItemPropertyGetter, really.  The only difference is that IItemPropertyGetter can only handle one type: floats.

net.minecraft.item.IItemPropertyGetter. But this shouldn't be an issue to find, as you should be using 1.9+ already.

First of all, please excuse my recent absence. I've been quite busy lately.

What I mean is that you are referencing some other classes and interfaces in your code (most notably IItemWithMeshDefinition and EasyRegistry) in your libraries. I cannot trace the data flow of your code so I can figure out what to do myself without these files (or I'm just being stupid, hell if I know).

Well, the title of this thread does say "[1.8]". That is, I'm modding in Minecraft version 1.8...
