๐ LiveTextureSwap โ Change Textures and Models Live In-Game
LiveTextureSwap is a client-side mod for Minecraft Java Edition that allows you to change item and armor textures and models in real time, without reloading the world, without F3+T, and without interrupting gameplay.
You can upload a texture or a full model while playing, apply it to an item or armor piece, and see the result directly in-game within seconds.
โจ Features
- โก Instant replacement of item and armor textures
- ๐งฉ Support for 2D and 3D textures and models

๐จ Texture Replacement Modes
When applying a texture, you can choose one of three modes:
๐ผ๏ธ PNG Mode
Simple texture replacement using a PNG image. Perfect for quick reskins, custom icons, and fast visual changes.
๐งฑ JSON Mode
Replace an item with a full custom model, including:
- JSON model files
- PNG textures
.propertiesfiles
This allows you to use fully custom 3D item models without restarting the game.
๐ก๏ธ ARM Mode
Replace textures of armor worn by the player. Changes are immediately visible:
- on the player model
- in third-person view
- in the world
๐๏ธ Texture Management
- View a list of all added textures and models
- Quickly switch between different variants
- Remove textures or revert to vanilla
- Organize textures by item
๐ฆ Resource Pack Export
LiveTextureSwap can combine all added textures and models into a single resource pack:
- Export as a ready-to-use
.zip - Share it with friends
- Use it in other worlds or modpacks
This makes the mod useful not only for live customization, but also as a resource pack creation tool.
