🔁 LiveTextureSwap — Change Textures and Models Live In-Game
LiveTextureSwap is a client-side mod for Minecraft Java Edition that allows you to change item and armor textures and models in real time, without reloading the world, without F3+T, and without interrupting gameplay.
You can upload a texture or a full model while playing, apply it to an item or armor piece, and see the result directly in-game within seconds.
✨ Features
- ⚡ Instant replacement of item and armor textures
- 🧩 Support for 2D and 3D textures and models
- 🚫 No resource reloads, no world reloads
- 📂 Upload files directly from inside the game
- 🖥️ Clean and user-friendly in-game interface
- 📦 Export all added textures and models into a full resource pack
🎨 Texture Replacement Modes
When applying a texture, you can choose one of three modes:
🖼️ PNG Mode
Simple texture replacement using a PNG image. Perfect for quick reskins, custom icons, and fast visual changes.
🧱 JSON Mode
Replace an item with a full custom model, including:
- JSON model files
- PNG textures
.propertiesfiles
This allows you to use fully custom 3D item models without restarting the game.
🛡️ ARM Mode
Replace textures of armor worn by the player. Changes are immediately visible:
- on the player model
- in third-person view
- in the world
🗂️ Texture Management
- View a list of all added textures and models
- Quickly switch between different variants
- Remove textures or revert to vanilla
- Organize textures by item
📦 Resource Pack Export
LiveTextureSwap can combine all added textures and models into a single resource pack:
- Export as a ready-to-use
.zip - Share it with friends
- Use it in other worlds or modpacks
This makes the mod useful not only for live customization, but also as a resource pack creation tool.
