Draft - Modern items creation

This requires ItemsAdder 4.0.13 and Minecraft 1.21.4+ (client must be 1.21.4+, server must be 1.21.2+).

Generating items automatically

material property is not mandatory anymore. paper will be used by default.

From texture

Automatically generate the modern item + model from a texture.

  modern_texture:
    name: Modern Texture
    graphics:
      texture: item/modern_texture

From model

Automatically generate the modern item and use a specific model file.

  modern_model:
    name: Modern Model
    graphics:
      model: item/modern_model

Block from textures

In this case ItemsAdder automatically detects you want to create a block (because it has the block behaviour) so the parent will automatically be block/cube.

If you do not specify the block behaviour, it would use the paper parent which is minecraft:item/generated.

  modern_textures_block:
    name: Modern Model Block Textures
    graphics:
      textures:
        north: block/modern_textures_block_north
        south: block/modern_textures_block_south
        east: block/modern_textures_block_east
        west: block/modern_textures_block_west
        up: block/modern_textures_block_up
        down: block/modern_textures_block_down
    behaviours:
      block:
        placed_model:
          type: REAL_NOTE

Block from single texture

Automatically generate the modern item and use a specific model file (in this case it generates a multi face block).

  modern_textures_block_2:
    name: Modern Model Block Textures 2
    graphics:
      texture: block/modern_textures_block_all
    behaviours:
      block:
        placed_model:
          type: REAL_NOTE

Block from specific parent (cross for example)

Automatically generate the modern item + model from textures (in this case it generates a multi face block).

In this case I set a custom parent for the model to be generated. I can specify the textures to be linked to the cross template in this case.

  modern_textures_block_cross:
    name: Modern Model Block Textures Cross
    graphics:
      icon: block/modern_textures_block_all
      parent: block/cross
      textures:
        cross: block/modern_textures_block_all
    behaviours:
      block:
        placed_model:
          type: REAL_WIRE

You can even just set texture instead, since the vanilla block/cross model has only one layer (cross), so ItemsAdder will automatically assign the texture to it.

  modern_textures_block_cross:
    name: Modern Model Block Textures Cross
    graphics:
      icon: block/modern_textures_block_all
      parent: block/cross
      texture: block/modern_textures_block_all
    behaviours:
      block:
        placed_model:
          type: REAL_WIRE

    material: paper
    graphics:
      texture: item/modern_texture

Icon

Show a different texture on the inventory slots compared to the in-game appearance.

  modern_texture:

Disable hand animation on item swap

Experts configuration

item_model

Manually handling the item model on your own using the new 1.21.4 format.

  modern_item:
    name: Modern Texture
    material: paper
    item_model: test:modern_item

Templates and variants

You can make variants of an item pretty easily. Variants inherit everything from a template item (that won't be available ingame).

  namespace: test_template_furniture
items:
  chair_template:
    template: true # Here
    name: ""
