Customizable 3D Doll Item

Heavily modified from 千虑智者’s version.

You can customize any item into a sitting doll holding an item. This requires some basic Minecraft resource pack skills. Should work for most of the Minecraft versions.

Highlights

• Both the item and the doll is 3D (also for the 2nd layer of the skin).
• Fully customizable as long as you know how to make resource packs. You can even use this model on a block item. You can also use Blockbench to change the doll’s pos or add some decorations.

_Item textures should be 16x or lower (best 16x). Skins should be 64x or lower (best 64x)._

Steps to customize:

1. Open the resource pack .zip file (or decompress it if you can’t directly modify files in a .zip).
2. Go to _”assets\minecraft\textures\item\doll\”_ and put a skin file in .png here (assume it’s named as newton.png).
3. (_If you don’t want to change the item’s texture (so it stays vanilla or from another resource pack you enabled), skip this step._)\

Go to _”assets\minecraft\textures\item\”_ and put the desired item texture in .png here (assume it’s named as apple.png).

1. Go to _”assets\minecraft\models\item\”_. If the skin you just put is classic (arm with 4 pixels), copy classic.json and paste it here. If the skin is slim (arm with 3 pixels), copy slim.json. Rename the pasted file to the item whose model you want to change. For example, you want to change “minecraft:apple”, then you rename the file to apple.json.
2. Open the .json file, look for the following (_”doll_slim”: “item/doll/slim”_ if your skin is slim):

"textures": {
  "doll_wide": "item/doll/classic",
  "particle": "item/whatever",
  "item": "item/whatever"
}

For “doll_wide” or “doll_slim”: Change _”item/doll/classic”_ into the file path of your skin (without “.png”).

For “particle”: This controls such as the particle when you eat this item. You can change _”item/whatever”_ into the texture file path of this item (without “.png”).

For “item”: This is the item texture the doll holds. Change _”item/whatever”_ into the texture file path of this item (without “.png”).

You can repeat steps 2~5 to modify the models of several items. You can then put the resource pack into the resource pack folder and enable it.
