How to work with Blockbench
Tue, 05/22/2018 - 12:26 (edited)

Blockbench is a great modeling tool for making models... Including Minecraft Models!

  1. Download Blockbench from their website. This download is safe, so don't worry :)
  2. Open the Launcher exe and start it.
  3. File has stuff like Project naming, new model, saving and more.
  4. Create a new model.
  5. Edit includes the stuff for the creating, so start by adding a Cube.
  6. You have 4 modes for Cube Editing, but we will use only the Cube Moving and Cube Scaling modes. They do what they say.
  7. Theres a small thing with textures. You can use it to test, for example, f800f8 blank texture and 000000 blank texture (These are color codes, click the frame cube icon to add a blank texture) (also these are the colors of a missing texture)
  8. Touch and drag the colors to a face of the model/the cube screen to add the color.
  9. Finished? Save it!
  10. Load it.
  11. Put textures.
  12. Hope its not wrong and the order is the order of the cubes you made,
  13. Do other normal MCreator settings.
  14. Load the game and test.
  15. If wrong, change the texture order. If right, congrats!

The creator of the World Trigger mod made a guide for Tabula (mob models)

You can also use Overlay to set how the model will appear in some moments, to make sure it won't end large in your hand.

Hey, for some reason blockbench models give me texture errors, and model errors, I think its maybe due to the fact that blockbench is mainly for resource pack models? It's kinda frustrating. Someone please help, the model doens't even show up in game as anything besides a pink and black default block model.

and did you assign textures to the models?

if not you can simply add placeholder[number].png files (placeholder.png can be anything, but i recommend random colors)

Maybe you done something wrong? Try to download it again and make a model again. For me it works fine.

I've been using Blockbench for my mod tht I'm working on and I made a little chipmunk-like mob and its hitbox is all weird. Its relatively small (only about a slab and a half high) but its hitbox is the same as the player's. Is there anyway around this?

Downloading Blockbench isn't required. There is an online version. If you like the online version and you think that you would rather use it as an application than a web app, you should download it.

I solved the problem. It is not necessary to draw a texture in Blockbench it is enough to put all the necessary textures into one image and create a texture in our program (32x32, 248x248 - no matter) and use only this image. Then in the "Model texture part: 0" put this image. (Export model to .Json) 

Sorry with my eanglish...
