Bedrock Entity Models
Bedrock Entity Models lets Bedrock Edition entity models render natively in Java Edition, and it is a client-side mod for Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt.
What it does
The mod parses Bedrock geometry files at runtime and converts them into Java entity model renderers, so models built for Bedrock can be displayed in Java. Entity appearance is set through Bedrock-style .entity.json files, which decide how each model is configured for a given mob.
The mod is meant to be used alongside resource packs that bring Bedrock Edition entity models. Only the client needs it, so players install it and servers do not. Fabric API is required on Fabric, and Mod Menu is optional and adds a configuration screen. Files cover game versions 26.1 – 26.3, with the latest build for 26.3, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

How it compares
BlueMap Entities is server-side only and open source under the MIT License, supporting Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt. Baby Zombie and villager old model restorer is also client-side only and open source under the MIT License, but it is a Fabric-only mod, so it restores older mob models rather than loading Bedrock files.
