📐 Model
Introdcution
Render an item model.
items:
default:topaz_pickaxe:
model:
type: minecraft:model # type is optional in this case
path: minecraft:item/custom/topaz_pickaxe
generation:
parent: "minecraft:item/handheld"
textures:
"layer0": "minecraft:item/custom/topaz_pickaxe"
If you do not specify a type, it will default to using minecraft:model.
Tints
In this configuration, we create a model for custom leaves. However, the default leaves in the vanilla game do not have color, so we need to configure a tint to color them.
default:palm_leaves:
model:
type: "minecraft:model"
path: "minecraft:item/custom/palm_leaves"
generation:
parent: "minecraft:block/custom/palm_leaves"
tints:
- type: "minecraft:constant"
value: -12012264
Places where colors are required support the use of decimal or RGB format
value: 16711680
value:
- 255
- 0
- 0
# or
value:
- 1.0
- 0.0
- 0.0
value: 255,0,0
# or
value: 1.0,0.0,0.0
minecraft:constant
type: "minecraft:constant"
value: -12012264
minecraft:custom_model_data
type: "minecraft:custom_model_data"
index: 0
default: -12012264
minecraft:dye
type: "minecraft:dye"
default: -12012264
minecraft:firework
type: "minecraft:firework"
default: -12012264
minecraft:grass
type: "minecraft:grass"
temperature: 0.5
downfall: 0.5
minecraft:map_color
type: "minecraft:map_color"
default: -12012264
minecraft:potion

minecraft:team

How to Create a Tintable Model
Step 1: Create a grayscale texture.
Step 2: In the preview window, select the target model's surface texture.
Step 3: Open the "UV" tab from the top toolbar.
Step 4: Check the "Tint" option.
Step 5: Repeat this for every face you want tinted. After exporting the model, you’ll notice that the selected faces now include a tintindex property.

}
Step 6: Open your item configuration and then edit your model section:
items:
example:tinted_item:
model:
type: minecraft:model
path: tints:item/example
generation:
parent: "tints:block/example"
tints:
# tintindex 0
- type: "minecraft:dye"
default: 144,80,62
# tintindex 1
- type: "minecraft:grass"
temperature: 0.5
downfall: 0.5
# tintindex 2 if you have more tint sources
...
