JMXL

by magistermaks

JMXL, a Fabric library by magistermaks, adds support for extended JSON model formats so developers and resource pack makers can build more complex models.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.17 – 26.2

What it does

The library extends the model format used by Minecraft, which makes it possible to describe models that go beyond what vanilla supports. Authors can set render layers, emissiveness and shading options for individual model elements, letting a single model carry detail that would otherwise need workarounds. JMXL is client-side only, so only the client needs it, and it is released under the MIT License as open source. Files are published for Fabric only, with builds covering 1.17 – 26.2.

Key features

  1. Extended model format

    Adds support for additional model data that the standard JSON model format does not describe.

  2. Per-element options

    Individual model elements can define their own render layer, emissiveness and shading settings.

  3. Vanilla-compatible approach

    The extensions work within the vanilla rendering system, so no replacement of the base game is needed.
