# custommodeldata (old)

{% hint style="info" %}
First step: Add your textures
{% endhint %}

Assuming you already did the basic guide, you can now go to assets/minecraft/textures/custom/item and add your textures.\
\
**Please note that textures must not exceed 256x256 pixels!**

```
Texture_pack:
  ➞ assets
    ➞ minecraft
       ➞ textures
          ➞ custom
             ➞ wood_stick.png
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Second step: adding models
{% endhint %}

Step A: Using a base model\
Step B: add your models\
\
Next you will see where to add the file of your model, read the options to know what's next

## Step A:

If you are using an item that does not use a custom model you can use one from Minecraft, First go to **assets/minecraft/models/custom/item** and add a file named **\<item\_name>.json**

```
Texture_pack:
  ➞ assets
    ➞ minecraft
       ➞ models
          ➞ custom
             ➞ item
                ➞ wood_stick.json
```

\
\
Then copy this into your json<br>

```
{
	"credit": "Made with Masaki",
	"parent": "item/handheld",
	"textures": {
		"layer0": "custom/item/wood_stick"
	}
}
```

Now go to step 3\ <br>

## Step B:

If you are adding an item that uses a custom texture such as a 3D modeled stick, you will have to complete several steps, this guide assumes you are using Blockbench to create your models.

Blockbench makes exporting models very simple just click on **File > Export > Export Block/Item Mode** And then place it in the correct directory<br>

{% hint style="info" %}
Third step: Define the CustomModelData
{% endhint %}

Now that you have the model in your texture pack, you need to configure the CustomModelData of the model.

What is that, the CustomModelData is a type of variation that Minecraft has for all items so you can create new ones and not replace them.

To do that you need to create a model file for your item at **assets/minecraft/models/item/\<base\_item>.json** in this case it will be **stick**.

```
Texture_pack:
  ➞ assets
    ➞ minecraft
       ➞ models
          ➞ item
             ➞ stick.json
```

```
{
   "parent":"item/generated",
   "textures":{
      "layer0":"item/stick"
   },
   "overrides":[
      {
         "predicate":{
            "custom_model_data":1
         },
         "model":"custom/item/wood_stick"
      }
   ]
}
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Last step: You're done!
{% endhint %}

Incredible, we have created our first custom item, now we can get it in the game using the command **/give \<name> stick{CustomModelData:1}**
