TacZ Mesh Loader [TML]

Default TaCZ supports only Bedrock-format cube models for guns and attachments. TacZ Mesh Loader lets gunpack creators use triangle and quad polygon meshes directly in TaCZ's model pipeline, so attachments such as scopes and suppressors can have smooth, built shapes. Meshy-exported mesh geometry loads without conversion, and both guns and their attachments accept it.

A model type is defined only where the mod is installed. A JSON file declares the new mesh model type, and a gun needs that definition only for the gun itself and any attachment that uses mesh. Even a model made mostly of cubes must declare the type to be recognised, and a hand model that is a cube object can be converted to mesh. VBO caching keeps large numbers of mesh guns from straining the computer after the first load.

The mod is client-side only, so servers run without it and players alone install it. Installation requires TaCZ Pack Upgrader, TaCZ: Refabricated, and [UNOFFICIAL] TaCZ 1.21.1 NeoForge Port, along with the other required dependencies listed for the mod. On Forge 1.20.1 the official Timeless Classics Zero Guns Fabric 1.20.1 build is needed instead. Files are released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and the code is open source.
