Basic GeoModels

Basic GeoModels are the base way of referring to your asset files. They offer more flexibility than DefaultedGeoModels, but require you to manually specify the resource paths for your assets.

Usage

GeoModels rely on creating a new class that extends GeoModel and implementing the three methods GeoModel requires:

• getModelResource - This is the resource path to your model json file, relative to the models folder.
• getAnimationResource - This is the resource path to your animation json file, relative to the animations folder.
• getTextureResource - This is the resource path to your texture png file, starting with the textures folder.

Ideally, you would cache the Identifiers returned by these methods, so they're not re-created constantly.

See below for an example of a basic GeoModel class.

Example GeoModel class

public class ExampleGeoModel extends GeoModel<ExampleEntity> {
    // Looks for a model file at '/assets/examplemod/geckolib/models/example_entity.geo.json'
    private final Identifier modelPath = Identifier.fromNamespaceAndPath(ExampleMod.MOD_ID, "example_entity");
    // Looks for an animations file at '/assets/examplemod/geckolib/animations/example_entity.animation.json'
    private final Identifier animationsPath = Identifier.fromNamespaceAndPath(ExampleMod.MOD_ID, "example_entity");
    // Looks for a texture file at '/assets/examplemod/textures/example_entity.png'
    private final Identifier texturePath = Identifier.fromNamespaceAndPath(ExampleMod.MOD_ID, "example_entity.png");

    @Override
    public Identifier getModelResource(GeoRenderState renderState) {
        return this.modelPath;
    }

    @Override
    public Identifier getAnimationResource(ExampleEntity animatable) {
        return this.animationsPath;
    }

    @Override
    public Identifier getTextureResource(GeoRenderState renderState) {
        return this.texturePath;
    }
}
