If you want to get started with making a model for More Player Models, I would suggest using Block Bench and using the basic_steve model.

basic_steveDownload

Next download the basic_file.json below

basic_fileDownload

Model creation:

Before getting started, the json file names need to be all lower case and contain no special characters like é or spaces.

Second there are 2 render_types, the one for bedrock models is called bedrock. The other is called simple which is kind of a legacy render type used by my mod, its used for example to create the different hair parts, basically makes a 2d texture into a 3d model.

If you are having issues, please use an online json validator like https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/ first and look at the .minecraft/logs/moreplayermodels.log

For a quick if guide watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXK-uBOnTFQ

Tip for creating your own parts, put them in .minecraft/moreplayermodels/assets/moreplayermodels/parts folder, if you make changes to your file, hit f3 + t to reload it and see the changes
