LiveModel is a Fabric client mod for 1.20.1 in which 3D models are designed, textured and animated in-game, with changes shown in real time.

What it does

Players build and edit 3D models inside the game. Cubes can be positioned, sized and rotated with decimal precision, and each model can carry custom pivot points for joints and moving parts. A sidebar list keeps layered cubes organized, with copy, paste and delete for several cubes at once.

Texturing happens on a per-face basis: the top, bottom, front, back, left and right faces of each cube take their own colors. An unfolded cube map shows where each color lands, and an RGB slider picker with a quick-access palette helps match shades. Keyframes can be added, deleted and adjusted on a visual timeline, and preset slots store several animation states such as idle, walk or attack.

Installation needs Fabric API. LiveModel is client-side only, so servers run without it and only the player needs the mod. It is published for Fabric, with the 1.0.0 file for 1.20.1 on the beta channel, released 2026-03-12 under All rights reserved. The code is not open source.

Key features

  1. Live 3D modeling

    Models are built and animated directly in the game, and changes are previewed without leaving the session.

  2. Precision controls

    Position, size and rotation of each cube accept decimal values, and custom pivot points support joints and mechanical parts.

  3. Layered cube workflow

    A sidebar list shows the cubes of a model, and several cubes can be copied, pasted or deleted together.

  4. Per-face coloring and palette

    Each face of a cube can take its own color, set with RGB sliders and saved in a quick-access palette, with an unfolded cube map for checking placement.

  5. Keyframes and preset slots

    Keyframes are added, removed and adjusted on a visual timeline, and preset slots hold several animation states for one model.

Questions

Does LiveModel need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency, and LiveModel is published only for the Fabric loader.

Does a server need LiveModel installed?

No. The mod is client-side only, so players install it and servers run without it.

Is LiveModel available for versions other than 1.20.1?

No. The only game version with a Fabric file is 1.20.1, released as 1.0.0 on the beta channel.
