Project overview
Entity Model Features About Entity Model Features (EMF) is a Fabric, Forge, & NeoForge mod that adds support for OptiFine's Custom Entity Models (CEM). designed for anyone who wants to use CEM resource pack features but also use OptiFine alternative mods such as Sodium, Continuity or ETF. Required Mods Please also install the below mods if you can, the obvious ones such as Sodium are not mentioned. It should also go without saying EMF is NOT compatible with dorianpb's CEM and OptiFine / OptiFabric. Required Entity Texture Features (ETF) : EMF uses several features from my other mod ETF, so it is required. (primarily used to support the random model feature, the config screen, and allow textures set in models to vary like in OptiFine) Highly recommended Entity Culling : This mod does wonders for reducing entity rendering lag, doing even more than Sodium's included entity culling. This is very beneficial when using animation heavy packs like Fresh Animations. Fresh Animations? Yes. it works :) Download Fresh Animations Features & OptiFine differences & Known Bugs Up-to-date feature details page : Features & Optifine differences Changelog You can find the changelog here .
