Crystal Models
by cutebow
Crystal Models swaps the End Crystal for custom 3D models that players supply as .glb or .gltf files.
What it does
The mod replaces the End Crystal block with models that the player chooses, and players can use almost any model they want. Models are loaded from files in the game's folders, so a model has to be converted to .glb or .gltf before it can be used. The mod runs on Fabric and is published for 1.21 – 1.21.5 across six release versions, under the MIT License and open source. Only the client needs it, so players can join servers without installing anything.
Key features
Custom end crystal models
The End Crystal can be replaced with a model that the player supplies, changing its appearance in the world.
Player-supplied model files
A model made in a common 3D tool can be converted to a supported format and loaded in place of the default crystal.
Model conversion step
Each model has to be converted before use, so the setup involves a short preparation step outside the game.

What the author says
To add models, place your OBJ and its texture PNGs in config/crystal_models/models. Keep the OBJ and textures together; matching base names is safest. Open the mod’s settings to trigger a rescan, or restart the game. Models shipped inside the mod still work too, so you can mix your own with the built-ins. (keep in…
