? Dev's Directional Movement Based Textures Template (Minecraft Resource Pack)

This is a template resource pack for Minecraft that allows item textures to dynamically change based on player key input — such as movement keys or sneaking.
It leverages Minecraft’s model predicate system (minecraft:condition and keybind_down) introduced in 1.20.5+ snapshots.

assets/
└── minecraft/
    ├── items/
    │   └── bucket.json                         

? How It Works

• The item/bucket.json model is the entry point, rename this to whatever item you want to edit.
• It uses nested minecraft:condition logic to detect active keybinds like:
  • key.forward, key.back, key.left, key.right, and key.sneak.
• Based on the key pressed, it loads a different model from custom_item_models/bucket/, which links to a texture in custom_item_textures/bucket/.
• It can detect the sneak key, the sprint key and the directional keys.
• The sneak texture overwrites all others then the sprint texture overwrites the rest followed up by the cardinal directions.

✏️ How to Customize

1. Use a Different Item

   • Copy and rename bucket.json to another item path (e.g. carrot_on_a_stick.json).
   • Update paths inside the file to match your new model/texture folder.

2. Add More Folders for Modular Support

   • Create new folders under custom_item_models/ for each item type (e.g., sword/, shield/).
   • Each folder can contain unique movement-based sub-models.

3. Link Your Own Textures

   • Change the textures.layer0 property in each sub-model (left.json, right.json, etc.) to use your custom textures.

4. Add More Conditions

   • Include additional states like key.use, key.jump, etc., by expanding the logic tree in the main .json.

5. Use Misode's Item Generator

   • (https://misode.github.io/assets/item/).
   • Copy and paste the contents of bucket.json to the bottom right of the website and easily edit the json.
   • Donate to Misode cause they're cool. (https://ko-fi.com/misode)

⚠️ Limitations

• Experimental Feature:
  This uses features only available in Minecraft 1.20.5+.

• Client-Side Only:
  It works based on local keybind inputs, not actual movement, velocity, or server-side conditions.

• One Input at a Time:
  The system processes inputs sequentially, so combining multiple simultaneous key presses is complex without deep nesting.

• Keybinds Only:
  Only supports detecting keys like:

  • key.forward, key.back, key.left, key.right, key.jump, key.sneaketc.
  • It does not detect mouse movement or other conditions.

✅ Great For

• Tools that visually indicate player movement.
• Gadgets or accessories with reactive visuals.
• Animated HUD-style items (compass-like behavior, indicators, etc.).
