# ModelApplier ModelApplier is a datapack that allows you to to easily change the displayed model of items in survival mode. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3TwMcAqSHhs" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe> ## How to use 1. Rename any item using an anvil to have the name of the model you want. For example: rename a stick to `diamond_sword`. The renamed name must be the item ID if the item you want to use, not it's item name, so `Diamond Sword` will not work. - Custom namespaced items can be used too, for example naming the item `custom:my_custom_item` 2. Use ModelApplier to apply the model. Hold the item in your main hand, then: - Pause the game, press the `ModelApplier` option, choose `Apply Model`, then pick `Apply Item Model`, `Apply Equipment Model`, or `Apply Painting` - If `Apply Equipment Model` is chosen and the item does not have a slot assigned yet, you will also be asked to choose the equipment slot to use. - OR: Press G to open the quick actions menu, then select `ModelApplier` and follow the same steps. 3. Your model will now be applied. You can rename the item again if you want it to have a unique name. 4. If you applied an item model for a helmet and it is still rendering as a normal helmet in third person, you need to assign the item to the head slot. This switches it to use item rendering instead of armor rendering. 1. Open `ModelApplier` 2. Choose `SlotApplier` 3. Pick the `Head` slot ## Apply Modes - `Apply Item Model`: Used for rendering an item model, which is defined via an item definition, eg: `assets/minecraft/diamond_sword.json` - `Apply Equipment Model`: Used for rendering an equipment model, which is defined via an equipment definition, eg: `assets/minecraft/diamond.json` - `Apply Painting`: Sets the painting variant to use on the held painting. Custom Painting variants are (https://minecraft.wiki/w/Painting_variant_definition). ## SlotApplier Assign any held item to a specific equipment slot, allowing it to be equipped in that slot. 1. Open `ModelApplier` 2. Choose `SlotApplier` 3. Pick the slot you want. - `Head` - `Chest` - `Legs` - `Feet` - `Body Slot (Not the Player)` - `Saddle` ## GlintApplier ModelApplier can also be used to apply and remove the glint effect from any item. 1. Open `ModelApplier` as outlined above. 2. Open the `GlintApplier` option. 3. Select either `Apply Enchantment Glint` or `Remove Enchantment Glint` to add or remove enchantment glints. ## Reset Options Need to undo changes? Use the `Reset Options` menu to target specific components or clear everything. 1. Open `ModelApplier` 2. Open the `Reset Options` menu. 3. Pick `Reset Name`, `Reset Item Model`, `Reset Equipment Model`, `Reset Painting`, `Reset Slot`, `Reset Glint`, or `Reset All` and confirm when prompted.
