# Model

### Model file

Open **BlockBench** and create a *"Java Block/Item"*.

![](/files/yyfC1xRMCFuusjt3Eocs)

Create your model, in this example I'm modelling an ugly minimal modern lamp.

![](/files/X5C4bpQT4v8EEE70y4eV)

{% hint style="warning" %}
Important: make sure the north is opposite of where you want the model to face.

Or add the property to the YML configuration `opposite_direction: true`
{% endhint %}

Edit how the model is shown on player hand:

![](/files/YhhlKlwzAElN3R3QWH2n)

### Configure the in-game view

#### Using `armor_stand`

You have to select the **head icon** and then **small ArmorStand:**

![](/files/AqhlfxLoRHW0T4s5XXM4)

Then you have to shift your model down until it matches the **ArmorStand** base:

![](/files/B7nF0WToXtDqEcTfL8Dx)

#### Using `item_display`

{% hint style="success" %}
This mode has the best performance
{% endhint %}

Make sure to specify `HEAD` in your configuration.

```yaml
    behaviours:
      furniture:
        entity: item_display
        display_transformation:
          transform: HEAD
        gravity: false
        fixed_rotation: false
```

You have to select the **head icon** and then normal **ArmorStand**.

Then move the model until it's approximately like that. It will be close to the ground. You can later regenerate your pack to preview it in-game and move the model until it's in the correct position.

#### Using `item_frame`

Select *Frame* and *Invisible Top*.\
Adjust the model Z *Translation* (the blue arrow) until it matches the bottom of the white block perfectly.

### Export the model

Now let's save the model file into the correct folder, in this case I set this property in the `.yml` configuration file: `model_path: lamp`, so you have to save the `.json` file inside this path: `contents/myitems/models/lamp.json`.

To achieve this, click on "File" followed by "Export Model" and finally "Export Block/Item Model". In the new window, head over to the path where you want to save your model, give it the correct name and confirm the changes.
