How to make 1 JSON file for multiple items?

[MostafaSabry55]

So I am a bit confused, IModelRegister used to be able to do this, now that it is gone, is there any work-around to it? I am trying to use only 1 JSON file for all my (non-metadata) items, can someone give me hints on how to do that?

 

EDIT : Version 1.16.3 by the way

Split it into multiple files. There should almost never be a reason to change different items using the same JSON file unless your item has dynamic storage that changes it's outlook. This would most likely be done via some kind of ItemOverrideList if you were to ignore my recommendation.

I will do that then, but, how do I dynamically generate tons of JSON files? I have got like 50 items that need to be done, and they'll increase as other mods arise

fyi, it's a gears, plates and rods mod, it adds alot of those, so I need an easy way to do that!

That's what a data generator is for. Instead of doing it all by hand, you just write an algorithm that makes it for you.

Gotcha, looked at the docs and a McJty tutorial and it seems easier than it looks! thank you
