About this project
What does Style Models add?
Style Models adds animated 3D characters for roleplay. The first character is a black clapping cat with a textured face, articulated hands and a curved tail.
How to use
Open the Style Models creative tab. Right-click the Clapping Cat model item to transform. The Player item, listed first, returns you to your normal player appearance.
Cat animations
- Z: clap three times.
- X: bring a hand to the mouth.
- C: reach forward. All five animation slots (Z, X, C, B, N) can be rebound in Controls. B and N are reserved and have no cat animation in this version. Walking and sitting use the model’s own poses.
NPC compatibility
The registered style_models:clapping_cat entity can be selected in compatible More Player Models and CustomNPCs entity-model menus. Right-click a compatible CustomNPC with a model item to change its model. Those mods are optional.
For Minecraft 1.21.1 and NeoForge. Install on both client and server so everyone can see the models and animations.
This is an early beta. The logo shows the actual model rendered in a studio; Minecraft lighting can differ. Equipment rendering and mod-specific poses are not fully supported yet.
