Can't find anything on 1.13.2 for this.

Wdym item texture variants. You can add overrides like the bow’s pulling animation, but that’s as far as you can go without rendering them yourself.

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public static void registerRenders(ModelRegistryEvent event)
{
    ModelBakery.registerItemVariants(ModItems.EXAMPLE_ITEM, new ModelResourceLocation(ModItems.EXAMPLE_ITEM.getRegistryName(), "inventory"));

    for (ItemType itemType : ItemType.itemTypes)
    {
        ModelBakery.registerItemVariants(ModItems.EXAMPLE_ITEM, itemType.itemModel);
    }

    ModelLoader.setCustomMeshDefinition(ModItems.EXAMPLE_ITEM, new ItemMeshDefinition()
    {
        @Override
        public ModelResourceLocation getModelLocation(ItemStack stack)
        {
            if (stack.getTagCompound() != null)
            {
                return new ModelResourceLocation(Mod.MODID + ":" + stack.getTagCompound().getString("ItemType"), "inventory");
            }
            else
            {
                return new ModelResourceLocation(Mod.MODID + ":" + defaultTexture, "inventory");
            }
        }
    });
}

 

Here's an example of what I mean. You would register all the model variants for your item, then use the getModelLocation method to return a different model depending on itemstack properties. Apologies if that was unclear. This was for 1.12.2, not even sure if this was the correct way to do it, but I can't work out the way to do it for 1.13.2.

You shouldn't be doing this in 1.13, you should be using two separate item instances.

Alright, cheers for letting me know.
