Issue description

Hello, It been a good week or two since I had this issue and it appears to be getting worst and worst. First I could not make blocks transparent, now I can't import models of any-type. This is on any version coordinated to 1.7.10. I been working on a city map for a good 6 months now and now I reached the phase when I need to model well over 200 types of furniture, lights and other assets. Getting these blocks into my world is essential for the development and eventually publishing of my city map. So this is issue is DESPERATELY IMPORTANT TO ME! The title explain what the issue is, I attached every single file I tried to import. I also had two of my friends download it on their computer and they had the same issue. It turns out it is not my computer's fault it is something else. Note that I make my own textures mostly 32 by 32 for the textures of the model, also the model I have is a ceiling light that is not the same size as your average block. One thing that is a GIVEN is that I am not changing Minecraft version there is no way I can use 1.12.2 models for a 1.7.10 world. Unless I can?Just extract the files to test them out!  

Thank You!   

Issue comments

You have been warned that 1.7.10 version is outdated when you were downloading it. MCreator 1.7.3 is has many many bugs that were fixed in later updates and lacks many features.

Minecraft 1.7.10 does only support Java models in its core, there is no parser or render for JSON in 1.7.10 yet.

Update to the latest version of MCreator and use Minecraft 1.12.2 to get a bigger palette of supported models.

Are saying if I will make a .java model file in the newest version it will work for my map since it is a .java file even though that map is on 1.7.10? 

I forgot to say that I am using mods, some of those mods highest versions are no more then minecraft 1.8. I will lose a few quite essential mods if I do so, such as a ragdoll physics mod and enviromine. I cant just make a new world I been working on a city for months now. 

You will need to update your map to 1.12.2.

We most likely won't work on Minecraft Forge 1.7.10 anymore as it is seriously outdated and unsupported even by its developers.
