Modded: Forge Obj

Forge does allow you to use .obj models in Minecraft, without making a mod.
Here is a step by step guide how to use that feature.

1. Flip your model along the z axis, south and north are flipped in the exported obj models.
2. Move your model by +8 on the x and z axis.
3. Each cube and mesh, must have a unique name
4. You can export the model now, default naming rules apply
5. You'll have to edit the .mtl file, it has paths to your textures and those need to be adjusted for MC resourcpacks. Here is an example, map_Kd example.png it is recommended to replace that with map_Kd #example. The # defines it as a variable and simplifies things a bit.
6. You'll have to create a JSON file for your model, with following content:

{
    "loader": "forge:obj",
    "model": "<path to your obj model>.obj",
    "flip-v": true,
    "textures": {
        "particle": "<path to particle texture>",
        "example": "<path of the another texture>"
    }
}

The example in the textures here, is the replacement for the variable we defined in step 5.
This makes it possible to use this .obj model for various different blocks now as you'd do with normal models.

That is basically it, it's not too complex once you get the hang of it.
You can also define display settings in the json file.

for example

what does that do

without a mod?

[leaden granite]

lets you load obj models

[pine sonnet]

but i need forge right

[leaden granite]

yes

[pine sonnet]

oh and there is really no way in vanilla minecraft

[leaden granite]

an option that doesn't require forge would be https://github.com/Godlander/objmc
It's basically a pyhton script and some shader files.
The python script converts the obj into a texture file, where each pixel is a point of information, and the shaders read the color values to determine the shape (and texture) of the model.

[pine sonnet]

that that works without any mod

[leaden granite]

yes

[pine sonnet]

can i also animate my blocks?

or is that not possible

i think i can do that with a plugin

[leaden granite]

afaik objmc works for items, not sure if it works for blocks too

[pine sonnet]

like i can just use multiple states right

[pine sonnet]

ill just use a plugin that renders the item on the ground then, and adds like a htibox

will see whether i can handle that

[leaden granite]

k, block model seems to work too

[pine sonnet]

but does it lag?

Like when I update the model every tick

as i want them to be animated

[leaden granite]

objmc has support for animations

[pine sonnet]

oh nice, ok thank you very much
