Custom block models always purple-and-black error.

I created a model in blockbench with the format "Java Block/Item" and exported it as a JSON. Attached the texture (that I also created in blockbench, so it SHOULD be perfectly compatible) and it always shows up as the purple and black error no matter what I try. I previously exported it as an obj and the same thing happened. Anything else I could try?

I have the same problem as described in mcreator knowledge base:Item or block JSON model renders as broken texture | MCreator. but I have tried checked everything and nothing seems to work. then I tried to make another model in blockbench and it still rendered broken, and now every block/item I export comes up as broken. is there anything else i could try that isnt listed in the knowledge base?

Try this...

Go back to Blockbench

Rename the project model and the parent something completely different. 

Delete the old broken java block/item

Hit the magical regenerate code button <just to be safe> top right

Now add new renamed model

 

Also try

Start a new mod

Add model to new mod

 

Good Luck

Ok this happened to me, but i found a fix:

if you are using blockbench, go to the file tab and click project. Then, put under the parent model section "minecraft:blocks/stone" Copy and paste that EXACTLY (without "", of course), and it should work. At least that worked for me
