Modelle
by 00773535asd
Modelle lets a Forge world show custom 3D models in OBJ format, each one loaded from a model file and a texture image placed in a folder.
What it does
A model is set up by putting a model.obj file and a texture.png file into a folder, then placing a Model Block in the world and selecting that folder name in its screen. Models load directly into the game world, so players can build with imported shapes rather than only vanilla blocks. Each model can be turned on the yaw, pitch and roll axes, scaled, moved by a position offset, and given its own settings.
Model files are stored on the server and synchronized to every player automatically. Transfers are sent in chunks and cached, and models shared between players are matched by hash, so a model is not sent again when a client already has it. A model may be up to 50 MB. Owners can protect their models and grant optional edit or copy permissions to others.
The mod is published for Minecraft 1.20.1 only, on Forge 47.1.0 and later. The server and every player need the mod installed. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.

Use cases
Custom furniture and props
Imported OBJ models can stand in for furniture, statues or signs in a build, where vanilla blocks do not fit.
Shared server builds
A server can store models that all players see, with owners controlling who may change them.
Who it’s for: Builders who want imported 3D shapes in their world, and server owners who want shared model storage synchronized to players.
