how does metadata work

Start new topic

Posted November 8, 20204 yr

I have a vague knowledge regarding item rendering. I need to render an item by layers.

0 - basic layer

1 - basic + one layer

2 - basic + one + layers

and so forth.

I recall metadata was meant to do so, im I right? is there any resources regarding how metadata is used? Thanks!

I need to render specific item variant having item's internal data, as you said NBT.

I guess I found the answer here:
