Sparkle's Morpher

by Micaftic123

Sparkle's Morpher lets players swap their character for a custom 3D model, with animations, sounds and first-person arms, in single-player and on servers.

What it does

Players load custom character models with skeletal animations, voice lines and sound effects, and swap the default Steve or Alex figure for a customized 3D character. The mod reads Blockbench .bbmodel projects directly, including geometry, bone hierarchies, textures and animations, and supports .ysm models built on the OpenYSM and YSMParser ecosystem. A built-in animation carousel, opened with Z by default, triggers supported model actions and animation states directly in the game.

Sparkle's Morpher began as a continuation of Fox Model Loader and has since been developed into a universal custom model platform. Version 2.x redesigns the multiplayer architecture around the client-side experience, and the previous server-integrated design continues separately as Fox Model Loader. Model sharing and extra model formats are planned for future releases.

Installation runs on Fabric and NeoForge. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for 1.21.1 and 26.1 – 26.3, and the project is released under the MIT License as open source.

Key features

  1. Custom geometry

    Models are rendered with custom geometry taken from the imported project files.

  2. Skeletal animations

    Animations drive the bones of a model, and custom actions switch between animation states.

  3. First-person arms

    The model's arms are shown in the first-person view, so the custom model is visible while playing.

  4. Blockbench and YSM import

    Blockbench .bbmodel projects and .ysm models load directly, with textures and animations included.

  5. Voice lines and sound effects

    Models can carry voice lines and other sound effects that play with their actions.
