Item Transform Helper
by HyperSpeeed
Item Transform Helper is a Library that lets players adjust how a held or placed item is displayed, using a menu of view, position, rotation and scale settings.
What it does
Item Transform Helper is a tool for changing the transform of an item model in the game. A camera item placed in the hotbar opens a menu where the transform can be edited with the arrow keys: up and down move between entries, and left and right change values. Settings can be applied to the item in the hand, to the item on the ground, to a head slot or to a picture frame, and each view can be reset individually or all at once.
The mod is intended for resource pack and mod developers who need the correct display values for a custom item. It can copy the parameters of a vanilla item onto a custom item, and a print option writes the current values to the console so they can be copied into the item model JSON file. An alternative workflow uses BlockBench to find the transforms of a model. The Helpers tab of the creative inventory holds the tool items. Architectury API is required, and the mod is open source under The Unlicense.
Key features
Interactive transform editing
Position, rotation and scale of an item can be adjusted live, with the change visible in the chosen view.
Multiple display views
Settings are kept per view, so first person, third person, the hand and the ground can each be tuned separately.
Reset controls
Each view can be reset on its own, or all views can be reset together with a single menu option.
Copy and print parameters
Values from a vanilla item can be copied to a custom item, and the current values can be printed to the console for use in a model file.
