Testing Your Pack

1. Open Minecraft
2. Go to Options → Resource Packs.
3. Move your resource pack folder (or ZIP it) into the resource packs folder if needed.
4. Enable the pack.
5. Spawn or hold the item associated with your model—you should see your model appear.

Troubleshooting

• Model does not appear? Check folder structure, filenames, and JSON syntax. To ensure your JSON has no syntax errors, paste it into a JSON formatter to validate it.
• Texture is wrong or missing? Make sure the PNG name matches the layer0 reference in the model JSON.
• Pack not appearing? Make sure your mcmeta is correct, and that you are on 1.21.4+
• You can also compare your pack to one of our samples here

Next Steps

• Add more custom items or blocks.
• Experiment with rotations, layers, and simple animations.
• Use overlays or advanced JSON features once comfortable.

This is the foundation of creating modern Minecraft resource packs.
