[1.15.2] Try to register custom item model

[Liahim 1]

Hi!
I am creating several items with a random name and want to assign a model to them.

In the ModelBakeEvent I register a model for them. And everything works well. But the registry event fires earlier and it spammy my console:

[Server-Worker-3/WARN] [minecraft/ModelBakery]: Unable to load model: 'mod:item1#inventory' referenced from: mod:item1#inventory: java.io.FileNotFoundException: mod:models/item/item1.json

How can I prevent this?

Note: I can't create a .json model because the name is random.

What do you mean the name is random? The unlocalized name shouldn't be random, how do you register your item?

Based on an external json-file.

And I don't know what can be written into it.

That is not how the game works.

The registry name should always be compile-time-constant. The fact that registry events run before your mod has access to Forge-supplied configs is intentional. Do not try and work around the system. If you want an item with a randomized display name, then override the appropriate methods to return a randomized display name, but do not fuck with its registry name.

I don't want a random name, I want to register the model via code.

And no spam to the console.

How can I do this?

I try to assume more clearer.

Liahim want to set custom implementation of baked model for some item.

This item dont have base json model.

Missing of json model is desirable behavior.

And he ask: how to remove warnings from log?

1. I register my items in the RegistryEvent.Register<Item>.
2. At the moment I already have the required list of names and these are constants.

3. I register my item models in the ModelBakeEvent.

4. Everything works well.

The result is spam...

This is your problem. Do not do this.

Make a custom model loader (IModelLoader) and reference it from your JSON model file.

[Liahim 1]

What if I don't know the name of an item (for example, it's an item from another mod) to create a JSON model file for it?

[diesieben07 7695]

Just because an item is from a different mod does not mean you don't know it's name. This is what registry names are for: they are a unique, global identifier for the registry object.

[Liahim 1]

And this means that for each such item I have to create a model with my hands?
There is no other way?

The goal was to automate the process.
I cannot know which mod will be installed with mine.

[diesieben07 7695]

You are a programmer, automate the process of writing the JSON files.

You can use data generators for this, which is Mojang's "framework" (enhanced and made available to mods) for generating JSON files for various things (models, block states, recipes, etc.).

That's fine. You can ship with models for items which will then not be present. The game will just ignore your models in that case. But it'll go looking for them (and find them) if the items are present (i.e. the other mod is installed).
