Zeus - An Athena Overide
by Minerguy341
Zeus is a NeoForge client mod for 1.21.1 that stops Athena from overriding block models set by a resource pack.
What it does
When a resource pack replaces the Athena CTM blocks, Zeus keeps the pack's models in place instead of letting Athena reclaim them at bake time. The pack's chosen loader wins, so a pack that uses Chipped or Fusion for connected textures is respected. Only the client needs it; servers run without it. The mod is published for NeoForge 1.21.1 under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Pack model priority
Models supplied by a resource pack are kept, so Athena does not replace them during model baking.
Connected-texture backends
A pack that already configures another connected-texture backend keeps its setup, and Athena steps aside.
Athena block coverage
The override applies to the Athena CTM blocks that resource packs remount, such as Chipped-style blocks.

What the author says
Zeus is a client-side Minecraft mod for Fabric and NeoForge. When a resource pack remounts Athena CTM blocks (such as Chipped) onto another backend like Fusion, Zeus stops Athena from reclaiming those models at bake time so the pack’s loader wins.
