Im making a new torch type item "unlit torch". I copied the model json file for the vanilla torch on to my unlit torch. The plan was to change the texture reference in the file to my own texture. This worked for the centered torch, but the walled torches texture is referenced weirdly for some reason. I cant figure out how to change the texture of my walled torch.

            }
        },
        {   "from": [ -1, 3.5, 0 ],

                "east": { "uv": [ 0, 0, 16, 16 ], "texture": "#torch" }
            }
        },
        {   "from": [ -8, 3.5, 7 ],
            "to": [ 8, 19.5, 9 ],
            "rotation": { "origin": [ 0, 3.5, 8 ], "axis": "z", "angle": -22.5 },
            "shade": false,
            "faces": {
                "north": { "uv": [ 0, 0, 16, 16 ], "texture": "#torch" },
                "south": { "uv": [ 0, 0, 16, 16 ], "texture": "#torch" }
            }
        }
    ]
}

The texture seams to be refrenced with "texture":"#torch" i dont know what this means, this isnt a texture file like how the other model files usually refrence.

For reference this is the centered torches model json file. (Notice ive already changed the texture reference form "minecraft:blocks/torch" to my own texture "progressionmod:blocks/torch_off")

{
    "parent": "block/template_torch",
    "textures": {
        "torch": "progressionmod:blocks/torch_off"
    }
}

Any info helps

I figured it out. It was simple all i had to do was use this as my model file.

 

{
    "parent": "block/torch_wall",
    "textures": {
        "torch": "progressionmod:blocks/torch_off"
    }
}

 

figured it out by checking the Redstone torch as refrence.
