My item class extends ItemAxe. It has a texture and behaves the same way as normal axes. When it's destroyed due to having 0 durability, the particles that appear are the purple missing texture image. I can't figure out why this happens.

 

Here's the item class:

public class ItemImprovisedAxe extends ItemAxe {
	public ItemImprovisedAxe() {
		super(ItemTier.WOOD, 7.0f, -3.0f, new Item.Properties().addToolType(ToolType.AXE, 1).defaultMaxDamage(33).group(ItemGroup.TOOLS));
		this.setRegistryName(ModInfo.MODID, "improvised_axe");
	}
}

 

Here's src/main/resources/assets/[modid]/models/item/improvised_axe.json:

{
  "parent": "item/handheld",
  "textures": {
    "layer0": "modid:item/improvised_axe"
  }
}

 

The 16x16 texture is src/main/resources/assets/[modid]/textures.item/improvised_axe.png

I "fixed" this by overriding the hitEntity, onBlockDestroyed, and onItemUse methods to call my own copy/paste of ItemStack.damageItem, which passes a stack of Items.WOODEN_AXE to EntityLivingBase.renderBrokenItemStack instead of my axe's stack. It's extremely hard to look at, but it works. If anybody has a better solution please let me know still.

 

public class ItemImprovisedAxe extends ItemAxe {
	public ItemImprovisedAxe() {
		super(ItemTier.WOOD, 7.0f, -3.0f, new Item.Properties().addToolType(ToolType.AXE, 1).defaultMaxDamage(33).group(ItemGroup.TOOLS));
		this.setRegistryName(ModInfo.MODID, "improvised_axe");
	}
	
	private final ItemStack WOODEN_AXE_STACK = new ItemStack(Items.WOODEN_AXE);
	
	// from ItemStack
	private void damageItem(ItemStack stack, int amount, EntityLivingBase entityIn) {
		if (!(entityIn instanceof EntityPlayer) || !((EntityPlayer)entityIn).abilities.isCreativeMode) {
			if (/*this*/stack.isDamageable()) {
				if (/*this*/stack.attemptDamageItem(amount, entityIn.getRNG(), entityIn instanceof EntityPlayerMP ? (EntityPlayerMP)entityIn : null)) {
					//entityIn.renderBrokenItemStack(/*this*/stack);
					entityIn.renderBrokenItemStack(WOODEN_AXE_STACK);
					Item item = /*this*/stack.getItem();
					/*this*/stack.shrink(1);
					if (entityIn instanceof EntityPlayer) {
						((EntityPlayer)entityIn).addStat(StatList.ITEM_BROKEN.get(item));
					}

					/*this*/stack.setDamage(0);
				}

			}
		}
	}
	
	@Override
	public boolean hitEntity(ItemStack stack, EntityLivingBase target, EntityLivingBase attacker) {
		//stack.damageItem(2, attacker);
		damageItem(stack, 2, attacker);
		return true;
	}
	
	@Override
	public boolean onBlockDestroyed(ItemStack stack, World worldIn, IBlockState state, BlockPos pos, EntityLivingBase entityLiving) {
		if (!worldIn.isRemote && state.getBlockHardness(worldIn, pos) != 0.0F) {
			//stack.damageItem(1, entityLiving);
			damageItem(stack, 1, entityLiving);
		}
		return true;
	}
	
	@Override
	public EnumActionResult onItemUse(ItemUseContext p_195939_1_) {
		World world = p_195939_1_.getWorld();
		BlockPos blockpos = p_195939_1_.getPos();
		IBlockState iblockstate = world.getBlockState(blockpos);
		Block block = BLOCK_STRIPPING_MAP.get(iblockstate.getBlock());
		if (block != null) {
			EntityPlayer entityplayer = p_195939_1_.getPlayer();
			world.playSound(entityplayer, blockpos, SoundEvents.ITEM_AXE_STRIP, SoundCategory.BLOCKS, 1.0F, 1.0F);
			if (!world.isRemote) {
				world.setBlockState(blockpos, block.getDefaultState().with(BlockRotatedPillar.AXIS, iblockstate.get(BlockRotatedPillar.AXIS)), 11);
				if (entityplayer != null) {
					//p_195939_1_.getItem().damageItem(1, entityplayer);
					damageItem(p_195939_1_.getItem(), 1, entityplayer);
				}
			}
			return EnumActionResult.SUCCESS;
		} else {
			return EnumActionResult.PASS;
		}
	}
}
