How do I add an Optifine entity to the game?

[knotty anchor]

I've created my own entity using the parrot template and I've saved and downloaded the file but I cant figure out how to add it to the game "ve also searched up how to add it to the game but its always how to add it to bedrock or its using things that aren't on Blockench anymore

you need to do the following:

make sure to save the project as a .jem file using the optifine CEM template plugin (assuming you have)

within the resourcepack, create the following folders: assets > minecraft > optifine > cem

within the cem file, you will place the parrot model into there along with the texture, and then after zip up the file to place into MC (or you can just have those files within the resourcepack folders) and check if it works or not

if the model didn't replace anything, and instead is the normal parrot, then something was messed around with the bones of the original parrot
