[1.15] Custom sword is not being held properly

[gamas]

Hi there, I created a custom sword. It seems to work fine, behaves properly in term of its attack power, recipe.

 

But when I look at it in Third Person view from the front, I notice that it is being held weirdly (screenshot attached). When I hold a regular diamond sword, it is being held properly (also screenshot attached).

 

package com.ayclogic.aycfirstmod.item;

import com.mycompany.firstmod.init.ModItemGroup;
import net.minecraft.item.IItemTier;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraft.item.SwordItem;

public class CustomSword extends SwordItem {
    public CustomSword() {
        super(CustomTier.MATERIAL, 99, -2.0F, new Item.Properties().group(ModItemGroup.MOD_ITEM_GROUP));
    }
}

 

any idea how to fix this?

Hello,

Here is the model file of diamond sword

{
    "parent": "item/handheld",
    "textures": {
        "layer0": "item/diamond_sword"
    }
}

So you need to change the "parent" value to "item/handheld" like any sword.

Bye.

@Zeide, you have a good idea, but if this dont work then @gamas you should make a manual model with Blockbench and export it as json model, else if you want the model of the sword then the first idea should work.

Thank you @Zeide, that was it. My model file was like this before

{
  "parent": "item/generated",
  "textures": {
    "layer0": "firstmod:item/invincible_sword"
  }
}

after I changed the "parent":"item/handheld", my custom sword looks good now. Below is the screenshot

Really appreciate your help
