[1.12.1] Item's not using textures given and looks like a block.

[PlayPrey]

Hello good sir's and possibly madams even though I doubt that.

 

I have not been modding this game for a long time, so I am still learning how to register new things properly,- I don't quite get the documentation Forge has and I am honestly about to lose motivation about the entire thing.

 

I have managed to successfully have the item itself be added ingame, with a proper name from the lang file and all,- however it has the wrong model and texture. (no texture)

 

Can someone teach me with examples how one does this these days? I found one tutorial showing something about assigning the item with a model renderer, however when I did that I got the item's texture (pink and black) in the middle of the screen, with the text "item.name#inventory" in blue. 

 

I lose motivation quick so I hope someone is willing to explain better than the documentation does.

ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation(...) in the ModelRegistryEvent.

Alright slap me in the head with a fish would ya,- been trying to figure out ModelLoader for a few hours now and now that you arrived and basically said nothing "helpful" I got it working, so thank you! I guess

 

However,- it's too late for me to keep working on it today,- would you mind telling me how to rotate the item so it's pointing the correct direction? Like a normal item? 

None of the changes I do for the item's JSON seem to do anything (except for locating the texture file). 

One of my JSON files in it's current state:

{
    "parent": "builtin/generated",
    "textures": {
        "layer0": "ppextreme:items/silveringot"
    },
    "display": {
        "thirdperson": {
            "rotation": [ 0, 0, 0 ],
            "translation": [ 0, 1, -3 ],
            "scale": [ 0.55, 0.55, 0.55 ]
        },
        "firstperson": {
            "rotation": [ 0, -135, 25 ],
            "translation": [ 0, 4, 2 ],
            "scale": [ 0.2, 1.7, 0.2 ]
        }
    }
}

Remove the entire "display" tag and use parent:"item/generated" instead.

That solved that. Thank you.

I bet i'll run into issues when trying to render tools and blocks but that will be a problem for later. Thanks again
