🔱Custom Trident

Nexo allows you to make custom tridents and trident-projectiles. This feature will work best on 1.21.4+ servers but will also work on lower ones The Trident-mechanic is pretty straight-forward, but also has some optional properties, mainly applicable to lower versions.

By default any item using TRIDENT as it's material is a Custom Trident The Trident-Mechanic is not strictly necessary unless one wants to tweak the properties

Properties

thrown_item_model - The ItemModel to show on the Trident-projectile. This only applies to 1.21.4+ servers. If unspecified it will default to Components.item_model if specified.

thrown_item - Refers to the NexoItem to display for the Projectile. Defaults to the item of this mechanic if unspecified

display_transform - Lets you set the Transform the model should use, mainly useful when not using a separate ItemModel

rotation - Lets you rotate the base yaw/pitch of the projectile

damage - The base-damage the Trident will do when hitting an entity, defaults to 8

Showcasing Forest Trident

ItemModel (1.21.4+)

For 1.21.4+ servers there are two approaches you can take, one being a unified ItemModel Second being a separate one for the thrown and held item. The Forest Trident Nexo comes with uses a unified ItemModel to dictate when to show what model. This is mainly for displaying a different model when held/icon/throwing. Like the normal trident-item, which has a 2d Icon in GUIs, then also held in hand one way when throwing and normal. Below is the example Forest-Trident ItemModel Nexo comes with

{
  "model": {
      "type": "minecraft:condition",
      "property": "minecraft:using_item",
      "on_false": {
        "type": "minecraft:model",
        "model": "nexo:item/nexo_tools/forest_trident"
      },
      "on_true": {
        "type": "minecraft:model",
        "model": "nexo:item/nexo_tools/forest_trident_throwing"
      }
    }
}

This has a different Model based on the condition if the item is being used or not. This then goes into assets/nexo/items/forest_trident.json and is referenced in the NexoItem like below As shown above this then links to two separate normal JSON-Models: assets/nexo/models/item/nexo_tools/forest_trident.json assets/nexo/models/item/nexo_tools/forest_trident_throwing.json

The NexoItem-config should then look something like this:

forest_trident:
  itemname: Forest Trident
  material: TRIDENT
  Components:
    item_model: nexo:forest_trident
  Mechanics:
    trident:
      display_transform: HEAD
