You've put a json file in the wrong spot

[Bonnqaz]

Thanks for the answer! Sorry for the stupid question, "in the wrong place" in the .jar file?
Because in this case the json file is in the right place. Maybe there are other reasons for this?

This happens when you put a json in the wrong folder (typically either animation in geo folder, or vice-versa, or item model in the geo folder, etc)
If you want further support, ask in the Discord. This is not a support platform
