NamedModelData
A simple Spigot plugin that allows you to apply CustomModelData tag to an item through anvil by item renaming, just like OptiFine.

NMD doesn't offer you any resource packs - you have to provide one to players yourself. CustomModelData will be applied only if you're renaming an item through anvil, so for existing item you have to reapply its name. Plugin has an option to ignore colors if you have some plugin that allows renaming items through anvil with colors.
Commands
Currently NMD has only one command - to reload the plugin.
/namedmodeldata (alias /nmd) - permission namedmodeldata.admin
