Wonderfully outdated name, innit?
Handcrafted 1.8 block/item models (handcrafted := writting the json by hand). It's not strictly written by hand, since I write tools from time to time to do batch editing. Many of them can be found in the root directory. They are unsupported.
This project's goal is to replace as many of the single-cube/builtin-generated models in Minecraft as possible, while using what I think is a pretty unique style. I like to avoid pixely stuff when I can, so a lot of my models make extensive use of rotation and other clever tricks to look "smooth".
You can clone this repo directly into your resource pack directory, or you can build a distributable zip with ./build.
Note that build has some compilation flags, which can be seen in the output of ./build --help:
Buildscript for Xor's 1.8 Models
Compile settings:
-b --no-block-items : removes block item models
-m --no-minify : don't minify json
-o --output : set the output file
-w --preserve-work-dir : don't kill the work dir when we're done
-u --collect-cruft : run collectCruft in the workdir
-h --help : print this message
If you wanna contribute, I think that's cool! Just remember you'll be contributing under the terms of the license. PRs welcome.
Note: What follows is no longer meaningful, because Minecraft will not follow symlinks as of 1.11.
If you want a 'nice' development environment, I suggest running git clone in your resourcepacks directory, or symlinking
the cloned repo to it. Then, run ln -s src assets in the repo root to make the directory a valid pack. The .gitignore will
make git ignore this symlink. You'll be able to select this as a resourece pack in Minecraft.
cd $MINECRAFT/resourcepacks
git clone https://github.com/drXor/1.8-Models.git
cd 1.8-Models
ln -s src assets
The root directory has a collection of files used for building and batch editing. Most are single-use and are there for history documentation purposes.
assets contains the fun stuff. assets/minecraft/textures has textures, and assets/minecraft/models contains the models.
There are a few other components that are less important, like assets/minecraft/blockstates.
cruft is a dumping ground for old files that I don't want to delete quite yet. ./collectCruft will dump leftover unused
files in this folder.
"Official" channel: #think @ irc.spi.gt
There is a branch for every major minecraft release which meaningfully changes the model format.
Since it's pretty stable, I expect it will remain at 1.9 for a while.
This pack does not and will not support Fast GFX mode.
If you wanna use my pack in a non-personal context (e.g. a creative work such as a video), read the license. A line creding me and a link back to this repo/the website is good enough to keep me happy.
I don't like it when people say "you can't use this without my permission!", especially about publicly distributed mods or texture packs. Hence, I try to give the user a lot of freedom, but keeping just enough control that people won't steal my work. Pretty much the only thing I don't want is people claiming this is their work, nor do I want it to get distributed without source (if only because I detest reposting).
