This tutorial is no longer accurate for versions 1.20.5 and later (1.21, etc)
I've made an updated tutorial that addresses those changes that can be found here:

Here are some other common issues not covered in this video that some of you happened across.

Most common one was having your file names have CAPITALIZATION or Spa ces between letters. Or special characters that aren't an underscore _.
Instead of naming you item's model "Super Sword", name it "super_sword".

Thank you so much! After following your 3rd tutorial the model loaded but there was no texture, the atlases thing fixed it, thanks!

[smashmaster]

ive been looking for a good tutorial for how to do this. instead i found a great video! cant wait to see more content :D

[jaylucas]

This is the tutorial that is actually updated thank you if been searching hours you are the best

For people who may be having trouble before <<STEP 2>>:
Both my books had the error texture, and after removing every other texture I had and applying them back, it worked just fine. It's a bug I'm not sure why happens, but it happened anyway.

[pandathebagel]

One important thing I found out after fiddling with the textures is that if the model file has many predicates already, like a clock or compass, you need to put the custom predicate at the bottom.
If the custom predicate is at the top, it will be overridden by the other predicates below it.

Thank you for the in-depth explaination, I managed to port a blockbench model (a sword) to the game !
Very good tutorial, I wonder if this also supports armors

[mysterycolors]

i know this video is 7 months old i hope you respond but i tried loading 3d models and it didn't work

[eliasbro]

Hi, where do i have to save the 3d model? The paths are the same as in the tutorial.

[Will_-itmh]

will you make an updated tutorial about the item components coming in the later update?

[jonatannpc]

Incrível e completo o tutorial!! Uma dúvida que eu tenho, é se funciona em uma versão anterior como a 1.16.5

[robinschwarz]

Thanks for the tutorial, it works.

However, tried to make the armorstand item to look like the day light sensor and it works, but all armorstand items now look like the day light sensor, even without the model data tag. Is there a solution to that?

[yukinosuketakada]

Thanks for the update! I have a question. You said the custom_model_data must be under 10 million, but the /give command lets me set the value well over 10mil (1.21). Is 10 million a limit for resource pack？

[Will_-itmh]

in theory, if im making a datapack for a custom map, which should only have that datapack installled, the custom 3 digit number at the start of the custommodeldata tag wouldnt be necessary, since there shouldnt be any compatibility issus then?

[mysterycolors]

i tried loading 3d models and 2d it didn't work

[skullcrusher]

couldn't get it to work, texture wouldn't appear and when i tried to do the atlas that also failed, i also tried to do a 3d model but that didn't work either, please help.

[nikk]

its working but its confusing when you paste the Override thing because im using Notepad++ and the space between words is smaller

[lunadotpng]

Do I need to export the blockbench project as a different type of file for it to work?

[oddessy]

i would like to point out. I ASKED FOR THIS FOREVER AGO. and yes i’m happy it’s here now. and yes sorry for all the annoying comments wasd ❤

[turtlejawz]

Hello. This is a pretty niche question, but how would I go about making a custom clock item? It uses the base clock file but different textures for each phase (Which I manually had to do -_-). I'm stuck trying to make it work, any help would be appreciated.
