[Wiki](https://github.com/MineLittlePony/Mson/wiki) | [Model Language Definition](https://github.com/MineLittlePony/Mson/tree/1.20/doc) Mson is a fabric library/mod for defining and loading entity models through configurable json files. It makes modders' lives easier by taking the model geometry out of the code and putting it in a place where it's separated from game logic, and it makes player's lives better by making it possible for your models to be customised and replaced using nothing more than a resourcepack. ## Getting Started [ResourcePack & Mod Creators] When MSON is installed, every entity model in the game can be loaded from an equivalent json file in the `assets//models/entity/mson` folder. Check [this folder](https://github.com/MineLittlePony/Mson/tree/1.20/src/test/resources/assets/minecraft/models/entity/mson) for a short list of example models made to closely (and in some cases not very closely) match the equivalent model for a limited few vanilla entities. For a more complete list, and instructions on how to convert models already loaded into the game, check the [Sample 1.20.1 Models](https://github.com/MineLittlePony/Mson/wiki/Sample-1.20.1-Models) wiki page. ## Getting Started [Mod Creators] Want to register your own models to load with mson? Doing so is as simple as: 1) `assets//models/entity/my_model.json` 2) `static ModelKey
