Tutorial

Important

There are even more ways to achieve custom model pets in modern Minecraft versions. This is only one way to do it.

A pet in PetBlocks is an Armorstand with an item on its head. The NBT tags of this item can be freely manipulated in your pet.yml. Therefore, we can add the NBT tag called CustomModelData on the itemstack and display a custom model instead of the block item.

The first step is to create a resource pack. A good starting point to create a resource pack with CustomModelData can be found here: https://www.planetminecraft.com/forums/communities/texturing/new-1-14-custom-item-models-tuto-578834/

Secondly, update the NBT tags in the pet.yml file.

nbt: '{CustomModelData:mycustommodelname}'
