You can distribute models created with this tool without giving any credit to me, but you have to keep __createdwith
line in every model you created or modified using my program. Leaving a

appreciated, but is not compulsory.

2. Post feedback. Your feedback is
really important for me. If you don't tell me what you'd like to see or
that my editor is missing some feature, I can't add it.
3. Tell your friends. Maybe they have an idea for a really nice model to make but they didn't have tools?
1. If your textures aren't loading make
sure to save/load your model first and follow folder structure that's
used in Minecraft's resource packs putting all used block textures in
"textures/block/". Even if texture used by you is the default Minecraft
texture you still have to extract it from Minecraft's files for it to be
rendered in Model Creator. Here's an example:
Resource pack folder/
pack.mcmeta
assets/
minecraft/
models/
block/
your_block_model.json
textures/
block/
your_block_texture.png
2. To change UV or texture of a face you have to first open UV Editor from View > Dialogs > UV Editor,
select face you want to edit and then you can choose texture from list
on top or edit UV by unchecking checkbox in the top right corner and
grabbing corners of pink square.
3. To set texture for particles you have to
call a texture "particle" in Texture Manager. Otherwise when you run
over your block Minecraft's going to use missing texture (the
magenta/black one).
4. If the program doesn't start make sure to follow those steps before you write a post asking what's causing the issue:
Make sure that you have unpacked all files from the zip file you downloaded to one folder.
If a program used to browse archives like 7zip or WinRAR open when you double click the program and you're on Windows right click it and go to Open with > Java(TM) Platform SE binary.
If after doing the previous step the program doesn't open, make sure you have Java 7 or Java 8 installed. If you don't, you can download it from here.
If after following all previous steps the program still doesn't run, open console by (Windows) holding shift and right clicking in the folder the program is in (make sure you don't have any files selected) and clicking on the Open command window here option, Then type java -jar "Model Creator.jar" and run the command by pressing enter. If any error appears in the console, copy it, send it to pastebin and post a link to it in this topic.
hey, i am trying to make a 3d resource pack and this software has worked great for things like ladders but whenever i try to edit a block such as gold_ore.json it doesnt load, i believe it has something to do with the parent blocks. is there a way to be able to edit blocks like logs or ores without editing the parents and such?
hey i was looking if there was a way to rotate elements, i am trying to make things like cacti and ores so it would be great to just copy, paste, rotate then position rather than having to create multiple elements all over again
Attachment 2: Materials for now (Overworld Wood, Cobblestone, Stone, Stone Bricks)
Attachment 3: "Diamond" Shaped Object to test if rotations are right way (I started out with acacia wood, because its the first wood in alphabetic order)
I am going to add all remaining stairs (at time of v1.16.4)
I am going to add a full PC as well (screen, keyboard, mouse, tower, speaker, etc)
If I am not done at the time 1.17 had it's initial release, I am going to to add the 1.17 Stairs as well.
When everything is done, I will post a texture Pack.

whenever i try to open the file it does nothing. any way to fix this??
That could be because you don't have java. Or that it doesn't open with java,
is there gonna be support for 1.12.2 every time i try load a model from models folder i get this error
Something went wrong: JSONObjects["elements"] not found
See console for details
i really love this program and would love to use it to make a 1.12.2 texture pack but seems there is errors i cant work around
Edit: also just tried it with 1.8 default texture pack and got the same error what is the fix for this please
Have you entered the correct path?
I have the elements not found issue too, but only on some blocks.
What file i have to open?
Hi, I've made a paste regarding troubles launching the application
https://pastebin.com/BDscpk1A

Hello. I apologize but actually, this isn't working. I cannot find the java file so I can't open this. Please help me if you could. Thank you.

I am going to add all remaining stairs (at time of v1.16.4)
I am going to add a full PC as well (screen, keyboard, mouse, tower, speaker, etc)
