# How to create custom textures ```yaml my_custom_item: enabled: true permission: my_custom_item model_id: 50 name: '&fMy custom item' ``` ### Creating the .json file (model) In this example I set **model\_id** to 50 and I created a file named **50.json** in the **assets\minecraft\models\new\_\** folder.\ In this case I'm creating a generic item that won't have any feature, so it will be under **new\_item** folder in resourcepack. This is the model file I've just created:
This is the content of the **50.json** file, you can notice i set **layer0** to **new\_item/50**\ which is the path to the **.png** file I'll create (I named it as the .json file to have the resourcepack more organized but you don't have to keep this structure, you can also write **new\_item/my\_custom\_item\_texture**, but remember to name the .png file like that)
If you made a custom 3D model you can ignore what you see in this screenshot as you surely have another structure in the file
### Creating the .png file (texture) Create a new file (or paste your texture file) in the **assets\minecraft\textures\new\_\** folder.\ I named it **50.png** (but remember you can name it as you want, you can name it also **my\_custom\_item\_texture**, like you did in **layer0**).

{% hint style="success" %} ## Done! {% endhint %} Now you have to zip your resourcepack files selecting these files:
After you zipped it upload it to Dropbox, get the download link and change **?dl=0** at the end of the link to **?dl=1**\ Put this link into the config.yml of ItemsAdder replacing the property custom\_url.\ Also set **use\_default** to false and **apply\_on\_join** to true ```yaml use_default: false custom_url: 'http://www.dropbox.com/s/.......zip?dl=1' ``` {% hint style="danger" %} Important Remember to upload the zip file to an hosting service that gives a direct download link, not a download link where you have to click "**Download file**" or something or Minecraft won't install the resourcepack correctly.\ Dropbox is good as you can set **?dl=1** to get a direct download.\ Also don't forget to change https to http. {% endhint %} {% hint style="warning" %} If DropBox link is not working on Minecraft and you get error please use this website: .\ \- Set 30days\ \- then after upload right click on download and copy link\ (You still need to change https to http in your url)\ \ Any website is good if it allows you to get a DIRECT download to resourcepack. If it gives you an url that leads to a download paga it won't work. {% endhint %} {% hint style="info" %} ## Multi-textures items {% endhint %} You'll surely notice some items have more than one texture/model, these items are: * bows * shields * fishing rods In order to create custom textures for your custom items of these particular types you have to create 2 or more .json files and .png files, you just have to take already created items as reference to create your items
