Is it possible to change the "isBuiltInRenderer" described here https://mcforge.readthedocs.io/en/latest/models/advanced/ibakedmodel/ to true from the JSON model file? I want to use a TileEntityItemStackRenderer but doing "isBuiltInRenderer":true doesn't seem to work from the JSON file.

 

Do I need to create a full IModel implementation just to set that one thing to true? If so, is there a way to load a JSON file as a "default" so I don't have to convert the JSON I've written for the non-custom-rendered bits to java?

That is not a JSON exposed option. It is a method defined by the IBakedModel interface (note: that is different than IModel).

Probably. But can't say, because you haven't really explained what you want to do (so far, this is an XY Problem).

Thanks. Basically, I have a json model for an item which is similar to the bow model. As in, it reads a property off the item and swaps out a texture based on the property. That part works fine without any java implementation of the model. But I also want to display an openGL rendered animation while using the item, which is fairly complex and involves creating shapes in openGL. Since I have the code for rendering most/all of it from my other (non-item) classes I'd rather not try to turn it into an IModel, and as far as I know the only way to get an OpenGL context on items is to use the TileEntityItemStackRenderer.. So ideally I'd like to just use the JSON model I've written with a minimum implementation of java to enable a TileEntityItemStackRenderer
