In 1.12.x there had been an minecraft vanilla class ItemMeshDefinition to define variable render icons based on whatever decision made in a method getModelLocation.

This could be registered in public void onRegisterModels(ModelRegistryEvent event) using ModelBakery.registerItemVariants and ModelLoader.setCustomMeshDefinition.

 

ItemMeshDefinition is no longer present in the Minecraft source and I don't think it's just a name change. I didn't find any respective class in the mc source.

 

So, my question is how to create items with variable icons in 1.13.2?

Does anybody has a pointer towards a respective doc or tutorial?

Thank you

the property override works perfectly

and after I recognised the models subfolder is called "item" instead of "items" like all the other subfolders, also the model json files have been found
