Custom Sonics

Sonic Texture & Model

• Make an sonic texture and model.
• Save your sonic texture and model to your Resource Pack that is called by your own custom datapack namespace (see below), naming it whatever you like. but do remember to call it something you can remember, with .png as the image’s format and the .json as the model’s format.

Create a Datapack

• Follow the tutorial on the Minecraft Wiki on datapacks on how to set one up, use the namespace from earlier

• Create a new .json file in the path

data/(namespace)/sonic/(sonic_texture_name).json

• Inside this new .json file, paste

{
  "id": "(namespace):(exterior_texture_name)",
  "models":{
  "inactive": "(namespace):item/sonic/(refer to example below)",
  "interaction": "(namespace):item/sonic/(refer to example below)",
  "overload": "(namespace):item/sonic/(exterior_texture_name)",
  "scanning": "(namespace):item/sonic/(exterior_texture_name)",
  "tardis": "(namespace):item/sonic/(exterior_texture_name)"
  },
  "loyalty": {
  "type": "PILOT"
}
}

Note: If you have a custom category, instead of something like "category": "ait:sonic/mechanical" it would be "category": "(namespace):(custom_category)".

• replacing the namespace and the sonic_texture_name with your own from earlier

• Now put this datapack into Minecraft.

Create A Resource Pack

Follow this guide

• Place your .png exterior texture in this path

assets/(namespace)/exterior/(exterior_texture_name).png

• Place your .png exterior texture emission in the same path

assets/(namespace)/exterior/(exterior_texture_name)_emission.png

• If you want people to be able to see your exterior texture variant, they will need this resource pack.

Example Reference That’s Easy to Follow :)

This is just an example, do not use the ID “(namespace)” and make sure you’re not using any parentheses. Those are just there for making sure you replace (namespace) with your own ID and (exterior_texture_name) with your texture’s name.

Once you’re finished, the json file should look like this:

{
  "id": "(namespace):my_exterior",
  "category": "ait:exterior/police_box",
  "parent": "ait:exterior/police_box/default",
  "texture": "(namespace):textures/(exterior_texture_name).png",
  "emission": "(namespace):textures/(exterior_texture_name)_emission.png"
}

And your resourcepack directory should look like this: (namespace)/assets/textures/

And once you make sure the textures are inside of the directory above, then you’re ready to use your new exterior texture variant!
