# Static Body Cosmetic ## Models meaning ### Normal model A normal model is the model which is shown to every player but the local player (yourself).\ This model is used only on Minecraft 1.20.1 and lower. ### Normal model 2 This normal model is the model which is shown to every player but the local player (yourself).\ This model is used only on Minecraft 1.20.2 and greater. ### Self model The model which is shown ONLY to the local player (yourself).\ This self model is used only on Minecraft 1.20.1 and lower. ### Self model 2 The model which is shown ONLY to the local player (yourself).\ This self model is used only on Minecraft 1.20.2 and greater. ## Creation methods ### CustomModelData You can create custom body items simply by using **CustomModelData**. ```yaml # Example manually created hat with CustomModelData squirrel_tail: display_name: "Squirrel Tail" type: BODY_ITEM model: gui: potion:400008 normal: potion:400008 normal_2: potion:410008 self: potion:400009 dye: enabled: false # To avoid this item from being colored. ``` In this example I created a custom body item with CustomModelData `400008`.\ I decided to use the same item both for the GUI preview and for the actual item which will be put on player's body.\ I then set a self model, which is the model shown only to the local player and not to the other players, in this case I set the CustomModelData to `400009`. ### ItemsAdder Same thing but using **ItemsAdder** models to avoid worrying about **CustomModelData**. #### Example: ```yaml # Example custom Item created by ItemsAdder squirrel_tail: display_name: "Squirrel Tail" type: BODY_ITEM model: gui: my_item:squirrel_tail normal: my_item:squirrel_tail self: my_item:squirrel_tail_self dye: enabled: false # To avoid this item from being colored. ``` In this example I created a custom body item by using the ItemsAdder model named `squirrel_tail`.\ I decided to use the same item both for the GUI preview and for the actual item which will be put on player's body.\ I then set a self model, which is the model shown only to the local player and not to the other players, in this case I set it to `squirrel_tail_self`. ## Avoid cosmetics from obstructing view It's important to have 3 separated models because the self models will avoid getting the player view occupied by the cosmetic and potentially cause annoyances during the gameplay (placing blocks, attacking, walking). {% hint style="warning" %} If you are not interested into setting a `self` and `normal` model you can skip this tutorial and only use the `normal` attribute\ Do not set the `self` attribute at all if you don't want to use a different item for the self view. {% endhint %} {% tabs %} {% tab title="Without the self model" %} ![](https://517658335-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FcHqkAbmdfwmU7TFYbk0w%2Fuploads%2FISxZ2DHTQlMUzqt5NlV3%2F2022-08-17_17.47.53.png?alt=media\&token=b4a8f021-7b85-4e97-b76a-aa8c219c6ae4) ![](https://517658335-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FcHqkAbmdfwmU7TFYbk0w%2Fuploads%2FrNVNurtTMRA40DLvQyCg%2F2022-08-17_17.48.40.png?alt=media\&token=1bfc6f4d-321d-40c2-871c-8cd575ff372c) {% endtab %} {% tab title="With the self model" %} ![](https://517658335-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FcHqkAbmdfwmU7TFYbk0w%2Fuploads%2F8BvowPMuPOmZ7uPsfzat%2F2022-08-17_17.48.16.png?alt=media\&token=a7b41151-10bb-4d2f-bc06-e69c0e783ec1) ![](https://517658335-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FcHqkAbmdfwmU7TFYbk0w%2Fuploads%2FrNVNurtTMRA40DLvQyCg%2F2022-08-17_17.48.40.png?alt=media\&token=1bfc6f4d-321d-40c2-871c-8cd575ff372c) {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} ## Implementing the self models ### Step 1 Decide a new **CustomModelData** for that item and add it to the item file or use **ItemsAdder** to automate the process (depends on your needs, refer to [ItemsAdder wiki ](https://itemsadder.devs.beer/)to learn how to create items). In this example I use `400008` for the **normal** model and `400009` for the **self** model. `assets/minecraft/models/item/XXX.json` ```json { "predicate": { "custom_model_data": 400008 }, "model": "cosmetics:body/squirrel_tail" }, { "predicate": { "custom_model_data": 410008 }, "model": "cosmetics:body/squirrel_tail_normal_2" }, { "predicate": { "custom_model_data": 400009 }, "model": "cosmetics:body/squirrel_tail_self" }, { "predicate": { "custom_model_data": 410009 }, "model": "cosmetics:body/squirrel_tail_self_2" }, ``` ### Step 2 Edit your cosmetics configuration and add the **self** model. ```yaml squirrel_tail: display_name: "Squirrel Tail" type: BODY_ITEM model: gui: potion:400008 normal: potion:400008 normal_2: potion:410008 self: potion:400009 # <------ HERE self_2: potion:410009 # <------ HERE dye: enabled: false # To avoid this item from being colored. ``` ### Step 3 Install the official [Blockbench extension](https://cosmeticscore.devs.beer/files-editor).\ Open your `.json` file using **Blockbench**. {% hint style="info" %} This is a very important important step. \ You have to create the 2 **self** models and edit them until you are satisfied. {% endhint %}
\ You can use the preview to check exactly how the model will be shown ingame.
## Issues with big models If your model is too big and you cannot move it down you have to use "**Auto fix self model**".
