Template System

You can create template json files in assets/{namespace}/rpt/templates/ with any names and use them later. Their structure is similar to items from the items folder, with the only exception that you cannot specify hand_animation_on_swap and oversized_in_gui in them.

In the minecraft/items folder:

{
  "model": {
    "type": "rpt:template",
    "template": "namespace:my_template"
  }
}

In the namespace/rpt/templates folder:

{
    "model": {
        "type": "rpt:variable",
        "variable": "bell_model"
    }, 
    "rpt": {
        "variables" : {
            "models": {
                "bell_model": "item/totem_of_undying"
            }
        }
    }
}

Template files themselves can be named anything and can even be nested within each other! So you won't have to write 11 thousand(!) lines of tangled objects anymore!

Note

Templates can override values from the item's rpt field, so use distinct variable and flag names to avoid conflicts.
