A mod for Minecraft: Java Edition 1.21.6 that allows loading external model files to replace vanilla player models.

The mod itself does not include models; you must prepare your own model files. Before using any model, please check model's licensing terms to avoid copyright infringement.

In depth, the mod extends the game's Blaze3D rendering engine. Blaze3D received significant enhancements in the 1.21.5 and 1.21.6 update, and mod extends some part of Blaze3D, they enabled advanced rendering technologies required for external model rendering.

Supported model formats: GLB, VRM, PMX, PMD.

This mod is in early development, with many features not yet implemented.

To use the mod, place model files in the models folder within the game's root directory and load them via the mod's settings, which can be opened with Mod Menu or by pressing key I.

The mod does not use native libraries and is compatible with all operating systems (Windows, Linux, etc.) and CPU architectures (x86, AMD64, etc.) supported by Minecraft: Java Edition.

一款 Minecraft：Java 版 1.21.6 的模组，允许加载外部模型文件来替换原版角色模型。

模组本体不包含模型资源，请自行准备模型文件。在使用模型前，请务必确认所选模型的授权许可，避免侵犯他人版权。

底层实现上，模组扩展了游戏的 Blaze3D 渲染引擎。由于 Blaze3D 在 1.21.5 和 1.21.6 更新受到了极大的增强，再加上模组进行的部分扩展，渲染外部模型所需要的高级渲染技术得以实现。

支持的模型格式包括：GLB、VRM、PMX、PMD。

当前模组处于早期开发阶段，很多功能尚未实现。

使用模组时，请将模型文件放置在游戏根目录的 models 文件夹内，并通过 Mod Menu 或者按下 I 键打开模组设置进行加载。

模组没有使用原生库，兼容 Minecraft：Java 版支持的所有操作系统（如 Windows、Linux 等）及 CPU 架构（如 x86、AMD64 等）。
