Model Tools
A tool to preview and apply custom models from resource packs.
Usage
- Hold an item in hand, and press open viewer keybind (J by default).
- Select the namespace of the resource pack you want to view
- Select a model from the list:
- Ones beginning with equipment are for armor and similar models
- Ones beginning with item are for item models
- Choose your display type in the top right (Item, Helmet, Etc)
Setup information
When installed on just the client side, you can preview all models currently enabled by active resource packs
When installed on both Server and Client sides, you can then modify your held item by applying the model to the held item either as a texture model, or an equipment asset.
