Kleiders Custom Renderer API

by kleiders3010

Players can swap their skin for a custom texture and model through Kleiders Custom Renderer API, a library for Forge and NeoForge.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.16.5 – 1.21.3

What it does

The API centers on the KleidersPlayerRenderer class, which replaces the player's rendered skin with a chosen texture. A companion MCreator plugin supplies procedures for applying these changes inside MCreator-built mods. The mod is required by 47 other mods, so it must stay installed for those to load. Client and server share the same environment, so both sides need it.

Key features

  1. Player skin replacement

    The KleidersPlayerRenderer class swaps the player model's texture for a custom one.

  2. Entity hitbox sizing

    A Size Event and Size procedures change the hitbox of entities in the game.

  3. Transparent model textures

    Model procedures honor texture transparency, and the base model can be hidden on a texture change.
