About this project

What does Pack Engine add?

Pack Engine

Create and add custom 3D items, animations, and wearable armor to Minecraft using asset packs, without writing Java code.

Minecraft

Forge NeoForge Fabric

This mod is currently in Beta; please expect bugs.

No known incompatibilities (crashes).

Pack Engine allows creators to add their own custom 3D items, models, textures, and animations through simple asset packs. Items can be configured with custom animations, sounds, and gameplay effects, making it possible to create everything from basic consumables to complex interactive tools.

No Java coding is required to create packs. Provide your models, textures, animations, and configuration files, and Pack Engine handles the rendering and item behavior.
