Item model with text?

[TestingSubject002]

Hello. I want to create a new item (book if telling more precisely) which has custom text on it. How can I do that? I suppose that I have to create my own ICustomModelLoader, IModel and return BakedItemModel with extra quads attached to letters' textures in IModel bake(...) function. Am I right?

Will the text change much?

There would be a lot of books and maybe player-generated, but text of every book is constant.

You may want to look at Forge's FancyMissingModel, which uses SimpleModelFontRenderer to render the location of the missing model.

I’ve noticed that their implementation is pretty poor performance wise when you have lots of missing model on screen at once, and is prone to crashes (in a debug world type, probably a problem with getActualState or something) and weird errors rendering (parts of text not appearing, random vertices shooting off in random directions)

And have you actually reported any of these apparent issues?

I'll get a look at  SimpleModelFontRenderer.

No, because they encourage me to fix my missing models
