Frostbyte's Item Model Modifier

by FrostbyteGames

Frostbyte's Item Model Modifier lets a player assign a different model to the item in the main hand, through a command or a browsing screen.

What it does

A command takes the item held in the main hand and sets, reads or resets its model. Running it with one of four arguments either applies a chosen model, returns the identifier of the model currently applied, opens the browsing screen, or restores the item to its vanilla model. A model stays on the item as data stored with it, so the custom model still renders after the mod is removed, and stacks only merge with items carrying the same data.

The browsing screen shows two item slots at the top: the current held item on the left and a preview on the right. Below them, a searchable, scrollable list shows every loaded item model in alphabetical order by identifier. Clicking a model updates the preview, and a green check mark button in the center applies the selection before the screen closes. A red X on the right exits without applying anything, while a blue arrow on the left clears the held item back to its default look. An item given a new model in the helmet slot renders that model instead of the helmet texture.

Key features

  1. Model command

    A command sets, reads or resets the model of the item in the player's main hand.

  2. Browsing screen

    A screen lists loaded item models in a searchable, alphabetical list with a live preview of the held item.

  3. Vanilla reset

    One action returns the held item to its vanilla model, whether set from the command or the screen.

  4. Helmet rendering

    A helmet given a custom model renders that model in the head slot in place of the armor texture.

Questions

Does Frostbyte's Item Model Modifier need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency and must be installed alongside this mod on Fabric.

Does the server need the mod?

Yes. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod.

Which game versions does the mod support?

Files cover 1.21.7 – 26.3 across nine release versions, and the latest Fabric file is 1.0.4-26.3 for 26.3.

Does the custom model remain if the mod is removed?

Yes. The model is stored as data on the item, so it still renders after the mod is removed.
