I'm new to modding and just tried to create my first block. The block showed up successfully in my inventory as an item but when I placed the block it shows up as the black and magenta missing texture:

 

 I don't understand how this is possible because my models/item/tutorial_block.json file just redirects to the models/block/tutorial_block.json file like this:

{
    "parent": "bigbadboybob1:block/tutorial_block"
}

Here is my models/block/tutorial_block.json file:

{
    "parent": "block/cube_all",
    "textures": {
        "all": "bigbadboybob1:block/tutorial_block"
    }
}

Here is my main java file for reference:

EDIT:

Got this in the console when launching the mod:

[m[33m[14:25:09] [Server-Worker-3/WARN] [minecraft/ModelBakery]: Exception loading blockstate definition: bigbadboybob1:blockstates/tutorial_block.json: java.io.FileNotFoundException: bigbadboybob1:blockstates/tutorial_block.json
[m[33m[14:25:09] [Server-Worker-3/WARN] [minecraft/ModelBakery]: Exception loading blockstate definition: 'bigbadboybob1:blockstates/tutorial_block.json' missing model for variant: 'bigbadboybob1:tutorial_block#'

This is my blockstates file:

{
    "variants": {
        "": { "model": "bigbadboybob1:block/tutorial_block" }
    }
}

You might wanna get a blockstate for that.

this is my blockstates file:

{
    "variants": {
        "": { "model": "bigbadboybob1:block/tutorial_block" }
    }
}

 

It looks fine, and the error said that the blockstate can not be found, so check the location of your blockstate file and spellings...etc

Are you sure it's under assets/<modid>/models/block/<block>.json? and is your blockstate under assets/<modid>/blockstates/<block>.json? For the model and the blockstate respectively?

Check and make sure your texture path is indeed:

src/main/resources/assets/<modid>/textures/block

and not

src/main/resources/assets/<modid>/textures/blocks

It's a common mistake.

Thanks everyone for replying I have looked over my directories multiple times and didn't see anything wrong but in case there is anything I'm missing, here is a screenshot of my directory:

 

I also have this problem, and I have nothing about it in the console.

Do you have a block item setup? If so is the texture applying to that?

I have this problem too, but I have nothing about it in the console.
