Minecraft – How to add a bottom texture to pumpkins

minecraft-java-editionminecraft-resource-packs

I'm currently working on my own texture pack, and I want to add a pumpkin_bottom texture. I figured out that I should add it to the block model, but since pumpkins are defined as cube_column blocks, I tried changing them to cube_bottom_top blocks. However, this resulted in the textures breaking and being replaced with the purple-black-chequered texture.

How do I add a bottom texture to Minecraft pumpkins? Do I need to define them as another type of block from default? Is this a conflict related to Jack o' Lantern blocks?

The texture names (all .png) are:

  • pumpkin_bottom
  • pumpkin_side
  • pumpkin_top

The code within the original block model file (pumpkin.json) is:

{
  "parent": "block/cube_column",
  "display": {
    "firstperson_righthand": {
      "rotation": [ 0, 135, 0 ],
      "translation": [ 0, 0, 0 ],
      "scale": [ 0.40, 0.40, 0.40 ]
    }
  },
  "textures": {
    "end": "block/pumpkin_top",
    "side": "block/pumpkin_side"
  }
}

These are my changes to the pumpkin.json file:

{
  "parent": "block/cube_bottom_top",
  "display": {
    "firstperson_righthand": {
      "rotation": [ 0, 135, 0 ],
      "translation": [ 0, 0, 0 ],
      "scale": [ 0.40, 0.40, 0.40 ]
    }
  },
  "textures": {
    "side": "block/pumpkin_side"
    "bottom": "block/pumpkin_bottom",
    "top": "block/pumpkin_top"
  }
}

I found a problem, in your pumpkin.json you've missed a comma after "side": "block/pumpkin_side", this also explains the broken texture. So the working json file looks like this:

{
  "parent": "block/cube_bottom_top",
  "display": {
    "firstperson_righthand": {
      "rotation": [ 0, 135, 0 ],
      "translation": [ 0, 0, 0 ],
      "scale": [ 0.40, 0.40, 0.40 ]
    }
  },
  "textures": {
    "side": "block/pumpkin_side",
    "bottom": "block/pumpkin_bottom",
    "top": "block/pumpkin_top"
  }
}
