Custom Sonics

Sonic Texture & Model

• Make a sonic texture and model.
• Save your sonic texture and model to your Resource Pack that is called by your own custom datapack namespace (see below), naming it whatever you like. but do remember to call it something you can remember, with .png as the image’s format and the .json as the model’s format.

Create a Datapack

• Follow the tutorial on the Minecraft Wiki on datapacks on how to set one up, use the namespace from earlier
• Create a new .json file in the path

data/namespace/sonic/sonic_texture_name.json

• Inside this new .json file, paste

{
  "id": "namespace:sonic_name",
  "models":{
  "inactive": "namespace:item/sonic/sonic_model_name",
  "interaction": "namespace:item/sonic/sonic_model_name",
  "overload": "namespace:item/sonic/sonic_model_name",
  "scanning": "namespace:item/sonic/sonic_model_name",
  "tardis": "namespace:item/sonic/sonic_model_name"
  },
  "loyalty": {
  "type": "RANK TYPE"
}
}

• replacing the namespace and the sonic_texture_name with your own from earlier
• replace rank type with either; Owner, Pilot, Companion, Neutral, Reject
• Now put this datapack into Minecraft.

Currently in-game your sonic will be something like sonic.namespace.sonic_id to fix this, make a folder in your resource packs assets folder. (name this file lang ). Then in that folder, make a file called language_type.json (for example en_us.json). Inside of that json file put the following:

{
"sonic.namespace.name":"ingame name"
}

• Make sure to replace namespace.name with your namespace and name from the datapack and replace ingame name with what you want it to be called in game.
