# models

Models is where Minecraft models are literally defined and you can find them at

```
📦resource_pack.zip
  └── 📁assets
       └── 📁minecraft
           └── 📁models
               └── 📁item
                   └── 📑diamond.json
```

models are defined by `assets/<namespace>/models/example.json` which inside a json is put as `<namespace>:example.json`

An example of a common item would be

```json
{
  "parent": "minecraft:item/generated",
  "textures": {
    "layer0": "minecraft:item/diamond"
  }
}
```

and something like a sword

```json
{
  "parent": "minecraft:item/handheld",
  "textures": {
    "layer0": "minecraft:item/diamond_sword"
  }
}
```

| Parameter | Description                                                                                                                                                                                            |
| --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| parent    | The parents are reference to other models that will copy exactly that model and will make the changes that are specified, in this case it is reference to `assets/minecraft/models/item/handheld.json` |
| textures  | here the texture is defined by models, in the case of `item/generated` it has “layer0” and “layer1” which is used in armor trims                                                                       |
