[1.14.4] How to get Minecraft Horse model/texture to make a custom unicorn?

[DragonITA]

Yes, i know, but how to add the corn of the unicorn? I know approxamly the position and rotation of the head. Should i implement simply the blocks of the corn or add the blocks of the corn as child to the head and something?

You should add box for your entities "corn". Render it in then just copyModelAngles of the head. See vahnilla code for how it copys headwear to head.

I have see the vanilla code.

Ok, but i the corn of my unicorn dont has a texture (i dont have tried the code, but i was pretty sure that my corn dont will have a texture.) ok, you will say i should add a texture to my custom texture, but the problem was, i dont know who add the texture of the unicorn. I want use blockbench to add a texture to my custom unicorn and then blockbench will add automaticaly the texture of the corn to the right position. PROBLEM: i need a to import a json or obj model to blckbench, not a java class (Blockbench dont accept java class, i think) how to make this or how to add the texture to the right position?

download tabula (1.12). import horse model. save as project.

download tabula plugin for BlockBench.

import horsemodel

edit as you please

export as java class

There is literally zero reasons for you to be using Tabula or BlockBench to add a horn to a horse. You already have Horsemodel. You already have a texture file for a horse that you can add texture to make the horn.  I have a feeling that you are just lost.  You should then add a box like I said before to your model class.

  this.corn.addBox(.....);

 Then right here is the coordinates of the texture on the png.

this.corn = new RendererModel(this, number, number);

The 2 numbers tell exactly where the texture is located on png.

Wich exactly Parameters should i make in the addBox function?

Just read the names of the parameters. The first three are the center position of the box, then size of the box, then the scale. Read some of the vanilla code to see some real usages.

[DragonITA]

Sorry, i am a noob, but i get this error:

Bound mismatch: The type UnicornEntityModel is not a valid substitude for the bounded parameter <M extends EntityModel>> of the type LivingRenderer<T,M>

 

[DragonITA]

I have tried by copy the HorseModel, and i want add the three blocks, but i got this error(read above). Pls help.

[Lea9ue]

You need to show your code. CANNOT help if you dont.  Show your UnicornEntityModel class first.

Here's one: placing the box and texture blind directly into code and only being able to see what it looks like by loading up the game each time is a pain in the ass.

Agreed, Tabula and other utilities make it so much easier to position and tweak things on the fly. Trial and erroring semi-abstract numbers is a massive waste of time.

 

However, there's a useful feature many are unaware of that most IDEs can use to alleviate similar issues: hotswapping. I don't know how to do it on Eclipse, but on IDEA you can simply launch the game in debug mode, change some code, then just hit the build button to hotswap the changed code into the running game. It can't do everything (e.g. adding/removing methods requires a full restart), but changing rendering code inside a method is an ideal use case for this feature.

 

But with that said, I sadly don't think hotswapping will work for adding/changing model boxes since those are usually defined in the model's constructor. Workarounds are possible (does anyone know if F3 + T also reloads entity models?), but Tabula/Blockbench is still the way to go to get fast results.

The UnicornEntityModel class is unnecessary. Replace UnicornEntityModel in the first line of the render class with ModelUnicorn<UnicornEntity>. Switch LivingRenderer for MobRenderer. In your model class replace AbstractHorseEntity with LivingEntity.

[DragonITA]

Ok, thx, but i want make a horse, with horse animations and horse gui and etc. and i dont want write the code of AbstractHorse, i can copy, ok, but then?
