Texture animations, and animated textures in Minecraft require a flipbook sheet where your animation frames are stacked ontop of one another. Then you use a mcmeta file in the resource pack to get your texture animated.

In this video the custom Blockbench model is added to a diamond hoe using Custom Model Data, which ingame has the CustomModelData tag to it. You can then use a command to give yourself the unique item and have it in the gameworld. Animated textures are pretty cool, right?

If you run gamemode servers or an Minecraft RPG server, then you really want custom models, animations and unique textures. It helps to make the world really unique and memorable for your players. Give them lots of love, and they will love you equally in return.

Are you looking to make your custom 3D items? Are you new to Blockbench? I started my Blockbench journey in August 2020 but began with 3D all the way back in 2007. I love to give back to the community, and if you are looking for help then tell med down in the comments. Sometimes inspiration is all we need, you can let me know what you would like to see me create next here on the channel by checking out the community tab.

I've added a bit of tips and tricks on how to use the new version of Blockbench (March 2021) in this video, covering a few things I noticed when I was working models recently.

Blockbench is a free to use software. If you have not already installed Blockbench on your computer to create Minecraft Bedrock Models or custom Minecraft mobs, then download it via this link:

Alternating textures is done in a few lines of code, and it's super easy to learn. To see your updates while playing Minecraft, all you have to do is to press F3 + T and your game will reload the texturepack instantly.

Thanks a bunch for the tutorial. Just a minor thing, at around 19:06 there seemed to be a bit of audio interference (a squeaky noise, or a sped-up Ghast), i checked a bunch of tabs to see if something else was playing, lol.

This is awesome man, this will make my models look so much better! ^^

[lerenard]

That's a really cool video ! But once i get my model in the game, it isn't animated, and i doesn't want to be for some reason...

[Fishysalmon]

I wish there was a way of animating the model itself. I managed to kinda fake that by animating the texture but having the texture apply to a different cube every frame.

[venommmm.]

this is great! but it doesnt let me add into my minecraft :(
