custom item textures
i simply cannot figure it out, i watched many tutorials, experimented with templates i found but i cannot get that working
if anyone knows about tools, generators, plugins or guides on setting that up?

Plugins like ItemsAdder and Nexo are good for getting them into mc and making them functional. However those are paid plugins, if your buying one, i would vouch for itemsadder over nexo because IA allows alot more like custom liquids and such but Nexo is also good for simplicity.
The vanilla way to do this is to add a custom_model_data tag to the items and use that same tag in a resource pack to refer to those items.
okay but how
How are you going to distribute the items?
you mean with what plugin? itemjoin and zmenu
idk if item join supports adding nbt data. Basically you gotta add a nbt tag to whatever item similar to
"minecraft:custom_model_data":{floats: [1000.0f]}
Then you need to make a resource pack (idk how to do that to be clear) which has the model data in it and references this custom model data number. The number is whatever number you choose and it should be different per texture.

that may work
yep that looks correct
any tutorial that you know of to make a texture pack for that?
Minecraft Wiki
Tutorial:Creating a resource pack
Resource packs allow users to include files that can modify or add custom textures, models, animations, music, sounds, user interfaces, and languages that change the way some things in Minecraft behave or look.
