Is there a way to Render a JSON onto a player?

[Turnrp]

I'm creating a hat mod and I'm stuck cause I can't seem to find a way to render something onto an item. Can anyone help? (Also im a little new to this stuff but i understand a bit)

JSON is just data. You are looking for how to render a model.

not on setup

you'd probably want to handle that on the PlayerLoggedInEvent

@SubscribeEvent
public static void OnPlayerLogged(PlayerEvent.PlayerLoggedInEvent PlayerLogged) {
    
}

would be the code to start off

[kiou.23]

actually, you may want to subscribe to the RenderPlayerEvent, get the player Renderer form the event and use PlayerRenderer#addLayer()

 

I havent' done much rendering code, so I'm not that sure

 

Edit: yeah, you want to create a class that extends LayerRenderer, and override the render method to render your hat.

you then pass an instance of your LayerRenderer to the PlayerRenderer#addLayer()

take a look at the render method of the SnowmanHeadLayer class, it should have everything that you need (honestly you can probably just copy paste that method and change the Carved Pumpkin to be your block)

[Turnrp]

@SubscribeEvent
public static void OnPlayerLogged(RenderPlayerEvent PlayerLogged) {

}

?
