[1.12.2] Item Textures With Metatdata

[Hamhub7]

So I am trying to create the elements in the periodic table. However, I'm not really sure how to create different model files for each one. They are all variations of the "element" item, but with different data values. I have attached my base item, specific item, item registering class, utility class which contains my enum list, and my current model file. The first model file works, and my generic element has a texture. My question is how to get the other 118 items to have models and textures.

ItemBase.java

ItemElement.java

ModItems.java

ElementUtil.java

element.json

Secondly, you're not telling the ModelLoader about your variant models in any way.

That's sorta the question. How do i go about telling the loader that I have all these different items to load separate models for?

 

Also the registerRenderers() is for custom tile entity rendering, which I recently deleted from the mod, but the code is still there if i want to add it back.

ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation(item, metadata, location)

?

I wonder what that metadata parameter is for...

Haha ok thanks. I'll try it out.
