Textures

This page is a simple overview of textures: where texture files go, and which registration methods relate to textures.

Main

Where Texture Files Go

Texture files live under assets/${modid}/textures. Common subfolders include block, entity, item, and models, each corresponding to different texture types:

• block for block textures
• item for item textures
• entity for entity textures (mobs, tridents, arrows, and other special model textures)
• models/armor for armor textures

The folders above are the most commonly used for KubeJS registrations. More advanced UI (gui) work typically cannot be done by KubeJS alone.

When registering content, it is not enough to place textures in the right folder. You also need to reference them from models. See .

Registration Methods

For item registration there is a single texture(...) method. You pass the texture path directly. (This is often used when the texture is not in the default location, or when you use a white base texture and then tint it using the color(...) method.)

For blocks there are textureAll, textureSide, and texture to control textures on different faces.

textureAll applies one texture to every face. textureSide is similar but targets the side faces.

texture(id, path) applies a texture to a specific slot. According to ProbeJS hints, it takes an id argument before the texture path. This id selects which texture slot you are overriding.

For blocks like a furnace (different textures per face), the model JSON has a textures object. Each key is a texture slot name and each value is a texture path. The id you pass to texture(...) is one of these keys.

{
	"parent": "minecraft:block/orientable",
	"textures": {
		"front": "minecraft:block/furnace_front",
		"side": "minecraft:block/furnace_side",
		"top": "minecraft:block/furnace_top"
	}
}

For the vanilla furnace model:

front is the front face texture. side is the side texture. top is the top texture.

So the first argument of texture(...) is the slot key (a String), and the second argument is the texture path.
