What to expect
- A
.bbmodelrenamed to.jsonis not a usable game model - it contains Blockbench editor data, not the resource-pack schema Minecraft expects. - Minecraft Java
.jsonblock/item models support cubes and textures but not the animations or advanced groups an entity model would need. - Bedrock and entity models use different JSON schemas, so pick the matching format under File > Convert Project before exporting.
Frequently asked questions
Isn't bbmodel already a JSON file?
Yes, internally it is JSON, but it stores Blockbench project state rather than a game-ready model, so renaming it does not make a valid Minecraft model.
How do I get a Minecraft-ready JSON model?
Use File > Export > Export Block/Item Model in Blockbench with a Java model format project.
Why won't Minecraft load my exported JSON?
You likely exported or renamed the raw
.bbmodel; export through the Block/Item Model option and check the texture paths.Can I get animation into the JSON?
Standard Java block/item JSON models have no animation; you would need an entity or Bedrock format for that.
