3D Block Drop Models

I was trying to see if I could get a block my mod adds to show its 3D model when dropped. For example, when dropping dirt, per say, the dropped entity looks like a mini version of the dirt block. Is there a way that I could do this for my mods blocks as well? (Maybe using 3D JSON block models?)

...It should do this by default, to the best of my understanding. But you're correct, if the model is weird, (say, way too big), that means it's using the in-hand model or something for the entity model. If you're using a tool like blockbench, you can change the display settings of different views of your model, which should fix the problem. (If it doesn't, you can also manually open the JSON files of your block and alter them to use the display settings you want, though this requires a bit more of an understanding of how display settings work.)
