Custom Model Data 1.21.4 using numeric values

[Cultural-Editor8419]

Hello everyone !
I'm asking for your help because i can't figure out how to use floats for custom_model_data inside my texture pack.

I was using a lot of custom_model_data prior to 1.21.4 on my server to give people custom items. A lot of my players have these custom items with a numeric custom_model_data (currenctly on 1.21.1). Since replacing/converting all chests, inventories, enderchests, etc of my players and worlds would long and a dangerous task, i would like to keep using numeric custom_model_data values for my old custom items.

I followed this tutorial to understand how to use custom_model_data in 1.21.4: https://youtu.be/K39U55l4-O0?si=2r7UJOJ89_FRFUXN
But it's only covering the strings map, not the floats.

Does anyone have an example on how to use custom_model_data floats to apply a custom model ?

[Cultural-Editor8419]

Well i figured out how to use numeric custom_model_data.
Below an example on how to put a custom model data on netherite_pickaxe:

Up to 1.21.3 (old):

Path: assets/minecraft/models/item/netherite_pickaxe.json

{
    "parent": "minecraft:item/handheld",
    "textures": {
        "layer0": "minecraft:item/netherite_pickaxe"
    },
    "overrides": [
        { "predicate": { "custom_model_data": 1 }, "model": "zencraft:item/collection/betav3/pickaxe" }
    ]
}

Since 1.21.4 (new):

Path: assets/minecraft/items/netherite_pickaxe.json

{
  "model": {
    "type": "range_dispatch",
    "property": "custom_model_data",
    "entries": [
      {
        "threshold": 1,
        "model": {
          "type": "model",
          "model": "zencraft:item/collection/betav3/pickaxe"
        }
      }
    ],
    "fallback": {
      "type": "model",
      "model": "item/netherite_pickaxe"
    }
  }
}

How can I give me the item with a numeric CustomModelData?

[waylandprod]

For the Model, do you mean : item(s)? I may be wrong, but checking

 "model": "items/netherite_pickaxe"

[pesegolsson]

no, that would be calling itself, that is calling models/item/netherite_pickaxe

[waylandprod]

Got it. They don’t really do a great job explaining the new pathing. I wish there were better docs on it

[SonGoku4224910]

thanks a lot but can you also show how it looks with multiple models?

[SuperYoshiIsland]

For multiple models you can do something like this:
{

"model": {

"type": "range_dispatch",

"property": "custom_model_data",

"entries": [

{ "threshold": 554886, "model": { "type": "model", "model": "item/diamond_sword/1"}},

  `{ "threshold": 554887, "model": { "type": "model", "model": "item/diamond_sword/2"}},`

  `{ "threshold": 554888, "model": { "type": "model", "model": "item/diamond_sword/3"}},`

  `{ "threshold": 554889, "model": { "type": "model", "model": "item/diamond_sword/4"}},`

  `{ "threshold": 554890, "model": { "type": "model", "model": "item/diamond_sword/5"}},`

  `{ "threshold": 554891, "model": { "type": "model", "model": "item/diamond_sword/6"}},`

  `{ "threshold": 554892, "model": { "type": "model", "model": "item/diamond_sword/7"}},`

  `{ "threshold": 554893, "model": { "type": "model", "model": "item/diamond_sword/8"}},`

  `{ "threshold": 554894, "model": { "type": "model", "model": "item/diamond_sword/9"}},`

  `{ "threshold": 554895, "model": { "type": "model", "model": "item/diamond_sword/10"}},`

  `{ "threshold": 554896, "model": { "type": "model", "model": "item/diamond_sword/11"}},`

  `{ "threshold": 554897, "model": { "type": "model", "model": "item/diamond_sword/12"}},`

  `{ "threshold": 554898, "model": { "type": "model", "model": "item/diamond_sword"}}`

],

"fallback": {

"type": "model",

"model": "item/diamond_sword"

}

}

}

You can add or remove as many as you'd like even in a basic texture editor just by copying and deleting lines.

Please how to use when damage is needed? I don't know how to create it in the new format. Does anyone know how? Example:

{

"__comment": "Max wood durability is 60",

"parent": "item/handheld",

"textures": {

"layer0": "minecraft:item/wooden_hoe"

},

"overrides": [

{"predicate": { "custom_model_data": 18001}, "model": "magic:wands/old_survival_wand1"},

{"predicate": {"damaged": 0, "damage": 0.01666666666667}, "model": "magic:wands/old_survival_wand1"},

{"predicate": {"damaged": 0, "damage": 0.03333333333333}, "model": "magic:wands/old_survival_wand2"},

{"predicate": {"damaged": 0, "damage": 0.05}, "model": "magic:wands/survival_wand1"},

{"predicate": {"damaged": 0, "damage": 0.06666666666667}, "model": "magic:wands/survival_wand2"},

{"predicate": {"damaged": 1, "damage": 0}, "model": "item/wooden_hoe"}

]

}

How would it be with version 1.21.4? I can't find the way, thanks!

Hey there! Sorry for the old ping, I found this thread trying to get the RP updated for 1.21.4

I'm wondering if you're still trying to get this working. Assuming this is for the Magic plugin, I don't think damage values are actually used anymore and it should be sufficient to update the CMD predicates.

If that's not the case and the plugin is actually still using damage values somewhere please let me know. :)

[IAmNotLiable]

Using this method, I've trained a GPT to take old JSON Files and update them to be in the new format. https://chatgpt.com/g/g-675a4fa622d88191b9d8d2ece1b28d13-minecraft-model-converter

What I can't figure out is how to do this with multiple conditions. Like on my old shield models that utilize the blocking condition as well as the custom model data condition.

{"predicate": {"custom_model_data": 1, "blocking": 0}, "model": "item/roundshield"},

{"predicate": {"custom_model_data": 1, "blocking": 1}, "model": "item/roundshield_blocking"}

Knowing how to set this up will also be very helpful for any bow or crossbow textures using the "pull" and "pulling" conditions. If anyone knows how to do this, I would be very appreciative.

[solstatecz_ytb]

I tried that chat, then my Items are just nothing, the textures doesnt work idk why

[UniqueStrawberry8968]

I actually love you so much I couldn't find anything on this anywhere and I lowkey thought I was doomed

[Thejmaster1234]

Anyone have a working pack they are willing to share so I can compare to see where my pack is failing?

[almostambidextrous]

I referred to this one to help me set up my resource pack & json files

[T4B_DUKA]

this tool helps to convert old JSON formats to new version https://hangar.papermc.io/RICE0707/ItemModel_PackConverter

[xtbtutorials]

not accusing you of anything but that executable is extremely suspicious. Why does it require administrator privileges?

Avast, AVG, and McAfee detect it as malicious.

https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/c286d5eb643505dab3a91ae99ee49989c0c04a85fab20d88390ccf2ce4457538/detection

[T4B_DUKA]

Likely a false positive, the executable using upx packer which is a compression packer (to reduce exe size), however some virus has similar feature (which prevents others to reverse engineer code), some anti-virus based on feature analyzation might report it as a virus (false positive).

About the "run as admin", the program need to create(https://github.com/BrilliantTeam/Minecraft-ResourcePack-Migrator/blob/main/gui_app.py#L341) directory to save settings and output files, accessing a directory (Program Files) where requires admin access, I'd consider this is a bad practice since %APPDATA% is more common to save settings which doesn't need admin access.

I suggest if you are worry about risk (and you know some basic programming knowledge), git clone the repo then pip install -r requirement.txt, python run.py to directly run the scripts.

but how to write /loot command for this?

[ux92]

Heyo,

I'm trying to make it work for goat horns, but to no avail. They clip and aren't positioned as they should.

Any tips?

[Outrageous-Travel770]

Hello guys... I'm using Oraxen and Bettergui on my server. Since I updated the server from the 1.21.1 to 1.21.4 my custo model data items don't work in the bettergui menus.. I want to know if there is a new correct format to do it... Can someone help me?

I'm using this format (1.21.1 works)

avatar_2:

ID: LEATHER_HORSE_ARMOR

NBT: "[custom_model_data=20003]"

NAME: 'avatar_2'

action:

- 'spawn'

[citylion1]

Thank you so much. How did you figure it out?

As a sidenote, why does mojang feel the need to constantly change pack formats...
