Problem description

I want to make a 3D Resource Pack for TiC's tools but when I finished my work, the models just like a flat texture.

Suggested solution

Add support for Java Block/Item Model so somebody can make 3D Models for tools, or just tell us HOW to use the models correctly.

Alternatives considered

I know that there is something difficult in modifiers' model, but I think 3D Model support is really important.

Additional context

• Confirm you have checked the roadmap, what's new, and the FAQ for your issue

3D model support is not that simple. With textures all I have to consider is folders to pull textures from. There are several places in the tool models that would need special support to work with 3D models as opposed to 2D models, and unfortunately I could not write a system which supported both (they are too conceptually different in internals). Ultimately, I decided the usecase of a resource pack wanting 3D tool models was not worth the effort compared to other more pressing features.

That said, this is not something that will never get added, just really, really low priority, as

• It would be really trivial for an addon to implement 3D tool models. Would require some work to ensure addons support the 3D models, but no internal changes would be needed. If someone is interesting in this project, I can give you some partial implementations/designs
• We may make use of 3D models for certain modifiable blocks. Between battle signs and one of the addon devs, there are a couple of features that would want 3D block models for multipart tools.
