EMF TrueSight
by sacdj
EMF TrueSight makes invisible mobs that wear armor or hold items render their full body model, so their gear no longer floats in midair.
What it does
Invisible mobs normally hide their body, which leaves armor pieces and held items visible in the air. EMF TrueSight detects what each mob has equipped in the main hand, off hand and armor slots, then shows the body accordingly. A mob with nothing equipped stays fully hidden, so the change only affects mobs that would otherwise give themselves away with visible gear.
The mod is a client-side Fabric addition that works alongside Entity Model Features, whose custom models also appear correctly on invisible mobs. It needs no server installation, and only the player's client runs it. Builds cover 1.21.1 – 26.2, with the latest file for 26.2, published on 2026-07-26 under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license, which is not open source.
Key features
Full body for equipped mobs
An invisible mob wearing armor or holding an item renders its complete body model, not just the gear.
Equipment detection
The mod checks the armor slots, main hand and off hand of each mob to decide whether the body should be shown.
Unchanged hidden mobs
Invisible mobs with nothing equipped remain properly hidden, so only the revealing cases change.
Entity Model Features support
Custom models from Entity Model Features are drawn normally on invisible mobs as well.

What the author says
Ever fought an invisible mob and only seen its armor and held items floating in midair? EMF Truesight fixes that — when an invisible mob is wearing armor or holding an item, its full body model renders normally instead of staying hidden, so Entity Model Features's custom models show up properly on them too.
