Extra Player Render (Paper Doll)
by TartaricAcid
Extra Player Render draws the player model on the screen so players can see their character in a corner of the interface.
What it does
The mod renders the player entity inside a GUI panel, so the character stays visible while the player plays. Players can pick the size, position and angle of the rendered character, and the settings are saved between sessions. The rendering calls the vanilla player renderer directly, which is why models from other mods, such as Custom Player Model, appear as they do in the game.
Extra Player Render is client-side only, so only the player who installs it needs it, and servers run without it. It is published for Forge only, with builds for 1.7.10 – 1.20.1 across 16 release versions, and the code is open source under the MIT License. Its public source code and issue tracker are linked from the project page. The latest Forge file is 1.0.0 for 1.20.1, published on 2024-02-24.
Key features
Rendered player panel

Keyboard-opened settings screen
Pressing the mod's key combination opens a GUI where the rendering options are changed with the mouse and scroll wheel.
