So, I made a simple model in Blender and exported it as a .json, with textures and everything. I put it in Mcreator and I loaded up the client, the block exists, but it is invisible. I have a couple suspicions, but im not sure if they are the correct problem.
1) The texture I made is custom and isn't the same size as MCreator usually has for pixels but much smaller. In blender I had it so that it worked and it looks like a normal block.
2) The block is bigger than the normal block size. I made the block the correct size, but in some areas I extruded it out for some more depth, along with added some squares next to the main texture to fill in for more colors not within the 16x16 area.
3) I used MCreator a long time ago and Im just back into, I could've easily messed up something.
4) Texture Mappings. When I imported the .json, It asked for texture mappings, but it wouldn't let me input my texture, and when I created a new one, it just moved me on...
It could be something else, but those are my suspicions. If you could look into this or help me out, It would be very appreciated :)
At the moment Blender is not working for custom models (Made one but didn't work) I'd suggest Blockbench or MrCrayfish Modeler. If you still want to continue making models with blender, maybe make it an obj file instead of a json. Hope this helps :)
I would suggest that you remake the model in something like MrCrayfish's Model Maker, Techne, or BlockBench. Keep the old model though, because if it still doesn't work after remaking the model in those programs then it might be something in MCreator. Keep me updated, I'll answer any questions you have about the programs I listed if you have any. They're all pretty much commonly used along side MCreator.
I know this was alive in 2016 but i'm actually having this problem now. I made the model completely in MrCrayfish's Model Creator (v0.7.0) and exported into a .json file. After i imported, i don't understand what they mean by texture mapping because you can edit or input anything, you can just make a new texture mapping or delete one. Please help i really wanna finish my vertical slabs :).
