🏭️ Model Generation

This page mainly explains how to use model generation.

Where to Configure

If you observe carefully, you'll notice that the plugin uses the following configuration format in many places.

path: "xxx"
generation:
  parent: "minecraft:xxx/xxx"
  textures:
    "xxx": "xxx"

In fact, the plugin supports model generation wherever a model path (path) can be specified. Whenever you see path, it means you can use generation within the same configuration section.

If you have already created a JSON model and placed it under the resourcepack, you only need to specify the path. If you do not have a JSON model and wish for the plugin to generate one that inherits from a parent model, you should use generation. Currently, generation includes two parameters: parent (the parent model) and textures (overriding textures). The parent field can not only reference the default models provided by Minecraft (mc) but can also point to your custom models. You can view all available Minecraft models on this website

Arguments

If we intend to generate a block based on this model, the parameters for parent and textures should be specified as follows:

generation:
  parent: "minecraft:block/cube_all"
  textures:
    "particle": "minecraft:block/custom/block_particle"
    "down": "minecraft:block/custom/block_down"
    "up": "minecraft:block/custom/block_up"
    "north": "minecraft:block/custom/block_north"
    "east": "minecraft:block/custom/block_east"
    "south": "minecraft:block/custom/block_south"
    "west": "minecraft:block/custom/block_west"
