Hello, I'm Geegaz !
As you may know, the first snapshots of the 1.14 introduced a new format for the JSON item models : "custom_model_data". It's also a new NBT tag you can use on an item with the format {CustomModelData:<data here>}.
Here's a guide/tutorial on how to use it.
This tutorial is not meant for basic ressource pack creation as it touches JSON format.
General notes :
- Here I only changed the iron_ingot to a gold_ingot. But you can also use this format for custom models.
- A tool with durability can be changed, and the damage of the tool will not affect its custom model. It will allow adventure/rpg maps with weapon durability.
- Packs are not compatible ! A tool modified by multiple packs, even with different datas, will only use the first one in the order of the packs applied (the one on top of your active packs in the "ressourcepacks" window)
Hope this tutorial helped you, seeya !
Example pack download :
*Edit: reuploaded the pack to match changes made in 1.14*

This pack changes the iron ingot and the carved pumpkin
with the CustomModelData:1234567
As you may know, the first snapshots of the 1.14 introduced a new format for the JSON item models : "custom_model_data". It's also a new NBT tag you can use on an item with the format {CustomModelData:<data here>}.
Here's a guide/tutorial on how to use it.
This tutorial is not meant for basic ressource pack creation as it touches JSON format.
NBT tag :
The Custom Model Data is a NBT tag that can be added to an item. We will use the iron_ingot as an example.
It's very simple to use as it is not different from any other NBT tag.
Note :
- The data doesn't take commas, if you add them the command won't give an error but will not work./give @s minecraft:iron_ingot{CustomModelData:1234567}
JSON format :
To the command above to work, the item needs its JSON format to be defined.
The code below shows how it works.
We use "overrides":{"predicate":{}} to define in which case we'll override the item's model with our custom model or, in this case, the gold_ingot's model.
Here, we wil override it if the item has a CustomModelData of 1234567.
Notes :
- The data is composed of a number with up to 7 digits
*Edit: Since 1.14 the CustomModelData format changed, and using 8 digits doesn't work now*
- The data shouldn't start with 0, or it will give an "error" model
- Doing this only changes the item model. It won't work for blocks models but can change the block's item model (block in the inventory){
"parent": "item/generated",
"textures": {
"layer0": "item/iron_ingot"
},
"overrides": [
{"predicate": {"custom_model_data":1234567}, "model": "item/gold_ingot"}
]
}

Can I ask how to make custom texture for bow? I've been struggling whole evening and I still don't have it right.
1
That's a good, and rather difficult question !
To add custom model to a bow (I'm saying model, but a model can be just a texture change), you need to change the "predicate:{}" part of the bow.json file to use custom_model_data.
See this thread on Minecraft forum for better explainations, just replace "damage:" by "custom_model_data:" in "predicate:{}".
Hope that helped, have a good day ^^

Hi! I've been messing with that too, and ... I can't get it to work. Custom models work for me, but only if I delete the "normal" / "vanilla" bow lines. If I put them back, the stationary bows are fine, however, once you start to charge them, they default to the vanilla bow. As mentioned, if I remove lines for vanilla bow, all of them work, just the vanilla one doesn't. Any ideas?
EDIT: Well, I was silly, I put custom lines BEFORE the vanilla ones. If anyone finds it useful :-)

Hi, I'm trying to mess with custom bows too, could you please show me the .JSON files, I can't get it to work, at first I thought it was a comma, then a predicate, then this and then that. I've been working on this for like 3 day by now.
For the bow.json file, I've written this:

For now I can't see what's wrong, may be a simple mistake in the order you put your predicates (try putting your custom lines between normal ones, a custom state right after the vanilla state).
And please, describe more precisely how it is "not working" (does it always give an error model ? Does the CustomModelData show always the vanilla bow ?).
Good luck !

Thanks for the reply. I'll give a try to your advice. My problems is that bows without this custom model data have the vanilla texture, but those who have the code "819" are not working, they have that black and pink error texture, not the error block, the error texture.

Hey, just used the Custom Model Data, works good, but not on tridents. The picture in the inventory is the custom model, but the items in hand is the original one :/.
I putted a bug report, but its probably something more about an "entity" rather rhan an "item".
Do you know how to use custom model data with entities ?

Useful question, I needed to search a bit to find an answer. The trident actually has 4 different models:
- trident.json, the one you changed and renders the model in the inventory
- trident_in_hand.json, when you have it in your hand (the one that was bothering you)
- trident_throwing.json, when you raise your arm to throw it
- a hardcoded entity model for the entity that is thrown
I reccomend you reading this to learn more about it and for an example pack.
Have a nice day !

As far as I know changing entity models is not possible in vanilla - Optifine is required
1
Exactly.
For the trident you'll need to work on the texture to fake a model.
BUT there is one kind of entity affected by CustomModelData: projectiles (snowball, splash potions, fireworks...).
They are rendered the same way as items, so changing the model of a projectile item will change the projectile entity.

when i try to use the custom model data with custom textures it always gives a missing texture cube, but when i use any ingame item (Ie iron ingot) it works, can you help?
1
I would need to see your model file (something.json) to fully understand the problem.
But from what I read I may see what's wrong:
To apply a custom texture to an item, you'll need to create a new item model. It's not difficult,
- copy a simple item model and rename it as you want (I'll use "example.json")
- in the model file, replace the texture "layer0" by the texture you want
- in the item model file that uses CustomModelData, write the name of your newly created item model in the "model" field.
This is what your files should look like:
example.json
{
"parent": "item/generated",
"textures": {
"layer0": "folder/your_texture"
}
- note that "item/generated" renders as a normal vanilla item, "item/handheld" is used for swords and "item/handheld_rod" for sticks and blaze rods. Other items need to be manually adjusted to look right in hand but that's another story
iron_ingot.json - or whatever vanilla item you're changing
{
"parent": "item/generated",
"textures": {
"layer0": "item/iron_ingot"
},
"overrides": [
{"predicate": {"custom_model_data":<...>}, "model": "folder/example.json"}
]
}
Let me know if you still have trouble with it, have a good day !

i have the custom texture in the correct folder it just wont show it1
How would I go about changing the model of something like a Axe.
I tried using the example above but failed, would you be able to give me an example.
I am trying to give an axe a whole new texture, so for example I could give someone an emerald axe

Please read the answer I made to Aetheriox below. I explain here how to create a new item model to use with CustomModelData.
In your case, you'll just need to duplicate an axe model, name it your way and modify it's texture, then add the "overrides" in the diamond axe model with your newly created model.
Keep in mind that this is no basic ressource pack making. If you're a beginner at making .json models, I advise you to take a look at this article from minecraft gamepedia on .json models.

Is it possible to change the model of a chestplate or any other armor?
2
Just the item property, not the model of the armor. But you can change the texture of the armor, if that is the case.

I tried to add custom textures but it didn't work, seems whenever I try to do anything with the model folder it breaks.

Nevermind. When you're done with modeling and texturing, just make <texture (picture) name>.png.mcmeta file next to your texture (picture) and extend your texture (picture) as you would normally do.

Does this work for armor when they're rendered on the player?
looking in the assets folder I can't figure it out

Sadly no. Armor is a texture rendered on the entity, you cannot change its model vanilla. BUT ! Any item put on the head will render normally.
For example, you can use Cmd with pumpkin to create custom helmets (if you disable the pumpkin overlay of course).
ps: the armor texture is in the entity folder
Have a good day !

Hello i am failing to understand the custom models for animated items. Even with danijel1023's response i don't understand how to do this with bows. If anyone could link me to a bow example i would be very grateful. Thanks.
2
Okay, to create an animated model you'll need to know first how to make an animated texture.
I won't start the subject here as it may need a whole post (more infos on the wiki), but just keep in mind that animating a model is just using an animated texture to show and hide parts of it.
If you just want to have different animated items, no need to worry on those details. You make an animated texture for the different states of the bow and use it for the corresponding models.

Hi Geegaz ,
I can't even get the example pack to work. I have the datapack installed and I'm on the right world, but typing in that command of giving a custom iron ingot just gives me a normal, not retextured iron ingot. Am I missing something else you have to do? Is it broken in 1.14.3 or something?

The example pack is a texturepack, you'll need to put it in the "resourcepacks" folder.
Then your items ingame should change texture.

Its just not working for me. I tried the example pack, I tried writing it all myself, I tried everything. Just nothing happens, closer I got was error textures and even tough I write exactly same thing now I can't even get those. I'm using version 1.14.4, here is what I tried :
diamond_sword.json

"{
"parent": "item/handheld",
"textures": {

},
"overrides": [
{"predicate": {"custom_model_data":10000001}, "model": "item/ancient_drowned_dagger"}

didn't work so I tried the example pack, it also didn't work.

Well here you forgot a last "}", that's why it didn't work. Also you need to put your item models in a different folder than "item", because only default models work in this folder.

hey what program do you use to view .JSON files? I can't remember for the life of me what the old one I used was.
1
I use Notepad++ !
It's rather basic and won't show you if you made mistakes, but it's good enough. Actually any text editor would do, even the default notepad.

Is there a way to make a texture pack so that you can change a block texture by renaming it in game with the anvil?

I know about the cit folder with optifine. As I have it it only works with items. Is there a way to apply that procedure to blocks?

I have had this exact idea the first day I got knowledge about the CIT feature, but AFAIK the answer is unfortunately a NO.
TL&DR
AFAIK no :/

Optifine has thing called CTM folder. It allows blocks to have different texture depending of the biome they are in.

Hi there, i'm pretty new to this stuff so i'm not sure if this is even possible with the current system but i am trying to add a crafting recipe via a data pack and give the recipe output a custom model data but can't seem to do it.
This is what i've tried and had no luck.
The recipe works and spawning in a feather with the model data has the right texture but i can't get the recipe to produce a feather with the model data.
any help or tips would be greatly appreciated :)

Sadly, custom recipes don't accept nbt input or outputs (custom model data is stored in nbt). So you have to use workarounds to get nbt recipes working.

I'm looking to make a custom item textures based off the leather_leggings item (Not the actual armor!) Trying to do some fancy colored variant items with it. However I'm not sure how to go about creating new custommodeldata with items that contain multiple layers, nor can I find any tutorials online about it.
Would you happen to know how I'd be able to add new custom model datas for both layer0 and layer1(the overlay layer)?
Would you happen to know how I'd be able to add new custom model datas for both layer0 and layer1(the overlay layer)?
2
Good question, I've done this recently !
I see you know about layer0 and layer1 (although iirc layer0 is the colored layer and layer1 is the base one), so won't explain it.
Then it's really simple, do as usual : create a new item model with "minecraft:item/generated" as a parent (either manually or by copying a leather armor item), and specify both "layer_0" and "layer_1" to the texture you want.
After that you can set the predicates in the base leather armor item like in the tutorial.
Hope you'll manage to get it to work, have a good day !

How do i do this with a bow? because it has 4 stages, i cant find this info anywhere
and armor? is that possible too?

Is there any way to make advancement icons custom models? I got it working normally, but if I try to do it in the advancement it just shows the black purple error texture.
2
Yes, it's possible (and even recommended to show your pack is active) ! But for that, you need to specify the nbt (with your CMD) in the "icon" field of your advancement.
It would go like this :
It would go like this :
"icon": {
"item": "your-item",
"nbt": "put-your-CMD-here"
}1
Thanks a lot. I tried it “tag” instead of “nbt”, but now it works. Another question: do you need to name the files specifically or can you name them everything, because I want more custom models for 1 block, but I’m using the names of the blocks I model, but I can’t make 2 files with the same name. Sorry for bad explanation, English isn’t my best language
1
You can name your custom model files as you want ! But be sure to reference them right in the original model.
(also, English's not my main language either :] )
