EpicYSM
by Argorice
EpicYSM lets the Yes Steve Model character draw its own weapons and animate attacks, dodges and skills in Epic Fight battles, with the player's model and animations kept in place.
What it does
Epic Fight drives the character's combat pose, and EpicYSM writes that skeleton into the model's memory a moment before the model is drawn. Attacks, dodges, guards and skill combos then play through the model's own animations, and the weapon sits in the hand the model chose. When not fighting, the character keeps its usual motion, with Yes Steve Model handling emotes and walking as before.
The mod is a client-side only addition for Forge and NeoForge, built for Minecraft 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and it is released under the MIT License as open source. Nothing needs to be installed on a server; it works wherever Yes Steve Model and Epic Fight already run. Yes Steve Model 2.6 or newer is needed alongside Epic Fight. Because the mod is client-side only, other players see the posed character only through their own clients, and the player sees the model in battle as the model's own.

Two-character battle mode
Two Yes Steve Model characters can be in battle mode at once, and both follow the same Epic Fight behavior.

Encrypted .ysm files are decrypted on the client, and readable model folders or zips with main.json are converted to Epic Fight's own format.

What the author says
Your Yes Steve Model character fights with Epic Fight animations. Attacks, dodges, guards, skills, weapon combos - all of Epic Fight's combat plays on the model you chose in YSM, with the weapon in its hand, instead of on the default Epic Fight body. Outside of battle mode nothing changes: emotes, idle and walk…
