[1.15.2] Generating JSON Files isn't working; how to use ItemModelProvider ?

Hi guys!

 

I want to generate my json files within my code because it would take too long to do it all by hand.

Before noticing that forge provides some useful classes / interfaces, I wrote some code myself which I thought would work... but it doesn't.

I don't really know why, and I am super obwhelmed by forge's classes / interfaces for this purpose, so if someone would share some insight on ItemModelProvider and which methods are important, I'd be delighted!

Do I need a modelBuilder, modelLoader and modelProvider? What about the DataGenerator?

 

My code

The main mod class:

the init class with nested json:

https://github.com/celinemargaux/Plantastic/blob/crop-experiments/src/main/java/com/celinemargaux/plantastic/init/Init.java

 

my assets:

Thanks in advance!

Hi

I guess you're talking about json models for blocks or items?

If this is just a once-off thing, I would personally use Excel (with formulas to copy the right words into the right places in the file) and then export as text.

 

I would also get my mod working perfectly with just one item/block first.  And then when I had ironed out all the bugs, I would add all the remaining items/blocks.

Sorry for the late response!

Yes, it's for generating the object_name.json files!
Okay, I could do that, but in the long run I'd like to understand that as well.

I will definitely work on the core code of my mod before making more things, you're right.

 

Thanks for your answer,

 

Celi
