Custom models

To have custom models, you need to have a pack.

Click here to see how you can create one.

Create a custom model

• Go to the model list in the pack gui
• Click on the knowledge book
• Give it a name
• Go to the data gui
• Change the default variation or add your own variation to the texture by clicking on the knowledge book
• You can choose where the model file is located. File or internet:
  • If you choose file, you need to add the texture file in plugins/ItemMods/temp
    • Now you need to enter the file name, for example ruby.json
  • If you choose internet, you need the direct link to the json
    • If you choose it, please add .json to the url, for example https://example.com/YOURFILE.json

You need to export the resource pack before having a custom model.

Examples

Create a file with this content in the temp directory. Replace the \<placeholder> with your values and assign it to a model
