Item Transform Helper
Some versions of this mod are missing from the archive (1.1 and 1.2 for Minecraft 1.8, as well as versions from 1.0.0 to 1.3 for MC 1.8 and 1.10.2a). If you have these releases preserved, contact the developer to add them to the project.
Purpose of the Mod
This tool is designed to simplify the configuration of custom item displays in Minecraft. It allows interactive adjustment of positioning, scaling, and rotation parameters for models.
How to Use
Place the Camera item in the player's hotbar. Hold the item you want to adjust in your hand. Navigate through the menu using up/down keys, and use left/right to change values.
To switch between display modes (first person, third person), change the VIEW item. To configure an item on the ground:
- Drop the item on the ground and hold a copy in your hand
- Set VIEW to grnd position
A similar approach works for items in interfaces, on the head (e.g., pumpkin), in frames, and in the left hand.
Reset parameters for the current mode using the RESET item. RESET ALL (RSTALL) resets settings for all modes. You can also copy parameters from a vanilla item:
- Hold a standard item in your hand
- Select RESET or RSTALL
- Take your custom item
When the item looks correct, use PRINT to output parameters to the console. Copy the corresponding lines to your item model's JSON file.
The Camera item is available in the Helpers tab of creative mode.
Additional Options
As an alternative, you can use BlockBench to determine correct model transformations: create a new model or import an existing one (JSON file or generated texture).
