Add Custom Textures To Minecraft Using Custom Model Data (Tutorial). In this video I am going to show you how to add a Custom Texture to your Minecraft with the use of Custom Model Data. This allows you to have the same item in-game with different custom made textures. And that can of course be used for a lot of things. It is really easy to do, so make sure to watch the full video and add some custom textures of your own.

This is a NEW Minecraft 1.19.4 tutorial. In this video I'm going to show you how to add custom textures to your Minecraft using something called Custom Model Data. Essentially, you Custom Model Data allows you to add new textures for a spesific Minecraf item, without replacing the base texture. So the item will still look like default in-game. But my executig a simple command, you can get that same item with a custom texture you added. It is extremely usefull for a lot of senarios. It's very cool, fun, awesome and poggers! This makes your Minecraft insane and amazing! Your players will absolutely love it! I had lots of laughs and fun. Hopefully you'll get some useful information from this video. I love Minecraft fun!

[@RatherNotsay-rm8zd]

heres how you actually do the command: /give [Player's Name] minecraft:(your item)[minecraft:custom_model_data=(your number)] FYI: your pack format must be at 34 and your .JSON files must be the same version as the version you're playing in minecraft. go to the pack.mcmeta file to change the pack format to 34. Finally, next to the presets, choose the version that you want to play in minecraft. (for me, i chose 1.21)

Now my question is, can I use custom data models items and use then as part of a kit? Let’s say rewards! Or using custom weapons, tools or armors? 🤔

[@KasaiSora]

With most kit plugins, you can indeed spawn in items with a custom model data. So that would be possible yes. It cal also be used with a plugin lime for example HMCWraps, which is recently made a video on. It allows you to change skins of your weapon/tool

Hello, I’m trying to get this working and it seems to be unrelated to the actual model or pack. I have my own custom sword that I’m trying to bring in. After a bit of troubleshooting I went and downloaded someone else’s to see if theirs works. I have the same issue with both and no idea how to fix it. In both cases I get the same result. The command /give never applies the model and I only get the base item, IOW diamond sword model {custom model data:value} just a normal diamond sword. What am I missing (mods) in order to load custom models?

try refreshing the texture pack, with f3+t, i spent a good six hours trying to figure it out myself only for that to fix it
