Emissive Item Example

[TheImpalerXIII]

I'm new to developing mods and resource packs in general for Minecraft, and for some reason the resource pack I made just does not seem to display the emissive texture I have set. I'm almost certain this is just because I have the resource pack set up wrong, but I can't seem to figure out the right way from the Emissive Format Guide in User Docs. Is there any way we could have a fabric and forge demo made for this mod like we have for the base more MoreMcMeta mod?

Also, if possible, I am also curious about how to make the emissive textures dynamic similar to what is possible with predicate based overrides for textures.

The base demo pack does include an emissive overlay for the obsidian block; the setup is the same for items as it does for blocks. If it doesn't work, I would recommend testing without other mods because there might be an incompatibility.

Currently, there isn't support for predicate-based overrides, though you can apply animations to the emissive overlays (or make the overlay not emissive). You can create a feature request in the issues tracker, though it would be helpful to have examples of what types of predicates would be useful.

Thank you! I had skipped over the obsidian block implementation a few times. I was able to figure out what was going wrong with the example. I simply didn't realize that the folder in the assets folder needed to actually match my modid.

Also apparently MoreMcMeta Emissive Textures actually does already work with predicate-based overrides if you set up the .moremcmeta file to modify the texture that is set by the override. I attached example .json and .moremcmeta files that demonstrate how I got this to work.

Glad it was a simple fix! Yes, MoreMcmeta animations/emissives should mostly work with other mods' texture features like predicates, but MoreMcmeta doesn't add its own support for predicates.
