Zap's Model Only Resources
by zapaxe
Zap's Model Only Resources lets players apply custom resource pack textures to selected items and armor while the rest of the world keeps default textures.
What it does
The mod is a client-side Fabric mod for controlling how custom resource pack textures appear in the game. Minecraft normally uses cosmetics from resource packs everywhere, and this mod lets a player choose which items, armor pieces and models receive those textures. Items can be assigned to specific resource packs, and a main override with a fallback base pack decides what applies when no selector matches.
Textures can be limited to the local character, so a server's crowd, its mobs and its decorative stands keep clean default appearances. A Mod Menu configuration screen, reachable in-game, controls rendering of custom textures on other players. Fabric API and Mod Menu are required dependencies. Only the client needs the mod, and a server can run without it. Released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, the mod is open source, and its source code and issue tracker are public. Files target game versions 1.21.11 – 26.2, and the latest Fabric file is 1.0.0-26.2 for 26.2, published 2026-08-14.
Key features
Cosmetics from resource packs
Selected items and armor pieces can use textures from chosen resource packs, while other items keep their defaults.
Per-item pack assignment
Each item can be assigned its own resource pack, with a whitelist catalog listing the items that are eligible.
Local-only texture isolation
Custom textures can be shown only on the local character, leaving other players, mobs and item frames unchanged.
Peer texture synchronization
An experimental option shares texture choices with other players, which is still under testing.

Personal look on a shared server
