Entity Model Features Mod (1.19.4, 1.19.2)

Entity Model Features Mod Overview

Entity Model Features (EMF) is a Fabric and Forge mod that brings OptiFine CEM (Custom Entity Models) support to your game without needing OptiFine. If you ditched OptiFine for Sodium, Iris, or ETF, this mod lets you keep using all your favorite CEM resource packs.

Most people move away from OptiFine because it doesn’t play well with modern performance mods like Sodium and Iris. EMF fills that gap. You get custom entity models while using whatever optimization setup works best for your system.

What This Mod Does

Loads OptiFine CEM files. The .jem model files work exactly as they should.
Handles CEM animations. All animation keyframes and logic from OptiFine CEMs work out of the box.
Random model variants. CEM’s random model feature is fully supported.
Custom armor models. Load custom armor for any biped mob using the standard EMF naming scheme.
Player skin CEMs. Customize how your player skin renders with player.jem and player_slim.jem files.
JPM partial support. Item models get partial support through OptiFine’s .JPM format.
Extra animation variables. EMF adds the is_climbing variable for more complex animations.

What You Need

You’ll need either Minecraft Forge or Fabric API installed for your Minecraft version. That’s it.
