Bigger Tools

that's because in the default .json models, there are no scaling, translation, and rotation values given to the POVs (first person & thirdperson) and mainhand/offhand yet, so you would need to add them manually to the JSON code. that's not all tho, sometimes you would need to tinker w/ the translations and rotations a bit to make them render in your hands properly and not just having a giant handle float outside of your hand or perhaps even accidentally touching the blade of a giant sword when you're holding it for example.

great, I found my JSON code template for resizing some of my tools!

{
  "parent": "item/handheld",
  "textures": {
    "layer0": "mod_id:items/enormous_sword"
  },
    "display": {
        "ground": {
            "rotation": [ 0, 0, 0 ],
            "translation": [ 0, 3, 0],
            "scale":[ 1, 1, 1 ]
        },
        "fixed": {
            "rotation": [ 0, -90, 45 ],
            "translation": [ 0, -7, 0],
            "scale":[ 1.8, 1.8, 1.8 ]
        },
        "thirdperson_righthand": {
            "rotation": [ 0, -90, 45 ],
            "translation": [ 0, 9.5, 2 ],
            "scale": [ 1.8, 1.8, 1.8 ]
        },
        "thirdperson_lefthand": {
            "rotation": [ 0, -90, 45 ],
            "translation": [ 0, 9.5, 2 ],
            "scale": [ 1.8, 1.8, 1.8 ]
        },
        "firstperson_righthand": {
            "rotation": [ 0, -90, 45 ],
            "translation": [ 0, 9.5, 2 ],
            "scale": [ 1.3, 1.3, 1.3 ]
        },
        "firstperson_lefthand": {
            "rotation": [ 0, -90, 45 ],
            "translation": [ 0, 9.5, 2 ],
            "scale": [ 1.3, 1.3, 1.3 ]
        }
    }
}

u can try putting this code in the JSON file of ur bigger tools just in case you haven't found a solution yet, just remember to change "mod_id" to your mod's ID, and "enormous_sword" to ur tool's registry name (to indicate the texture's resource location) :)

WARNING: Do not edit code of files used by MCreator-unlocked elements!

either you'll be prompted to save them as a new file w/ a different file extension (if you use Windows Notepad, that is) or they'll be overriden by Mcreator's code gen for some reason afaik & you'll lose what you've added to it. lock elements if you wish to edit them w/out the generator overriding the code you put, every code regen or build task you run.

in this case, on MCreator, lock the code of your tool, then double-click it; you should see it contains 2 files:

1.) a .java class (do not touch this unless you want to modify the functionalities of your tool!)

2.) a JSON file (this is what we want to edit)

named after the element name and registry name you put, respectively. make sure to open the JSON file, erase all default code in it, and paste the code I sent. then, [Ctrl + S] and test it in-game. hope this helps! :)

sorry buddy, but i seemingly can't help you at this point. i've never experienced those kinda problems, really. hey, i dont mean to brag... but all of the models & textures i import to MCreator work properly because i check if the UV mappings and textures i use are the correct ones (which should be of common knowledge). and that's all it took to see them perfectly working in-game. if your problem still persists, you could join the Blockbench Discord server and ask for help. sorry for the pretty late reply and best of luck.

the code seems to work well with Default Model tools, about the Blockbench models, you gotta make it bigger in the Blockbench project, then export to your mod, i tested Sajevius' code and it worked properly.

by the way, thanks! I was looking for the same help, and I got here, thank you guys!

did it worked well? I'm having a similar issue nowadays, tried to make a decoration block with Blockbench, and it didn't rendered the model and texture in game, I used the same model to make a entity, and it works normally, and since you mentioned the issue with Blockbench and MCreator textures, I'll try it out, but hey, how's your mod going by now? I got curious if you reached the success.
