Hytale Model Loader

A mod for Minecraft Neoforge 1.21.11 that allows the player to import and use Hytale models in game. It converts Hytale's BlockyModel and BLockyAnim file formats into renderable versions inside of Minecraft. Currently, these can be rendered as item or block models with entity models coming in a future version. This is usable with both resource packs and mods.

Creating a Model

Refer to the wiki to learn how to create and animate your models.

Example: pot.json

{
  "loader": "hytalemodelloader:blockymodel_loader",
  "model": "hytalemodelloader:models/pot.blockymodel",
  "render_type": "minecraft:cutout",
  "textures": {
    "texture": "hytalemodelloader:block/pot_texture",
    "particle": "hytalemodelloader:block/pot_texture"
  }
}

Key fields:

• loader – References the BlockyModelLoader This is most important
• model – Path to your .blockymodel file (This file is best in the models folder but put it wherever)
• render_type – Standard Minecraft render type this needs to be changed depending on model transparency
• textures – Texture references used by your model
