Easy NPC can render NPCs with alternative entity models on the client.

Custom model rendering changes the visual model on the client. It does not change the server-side entity logic or hitbox calculations.

Every NPC has a render type that decides which renderer draws it:

You normally do not set these by hand - picking an entity, species, or model profile in the configuration screen selects the matching render type. DEFAULT is the way back:

/easy_npc render set type <NPC> DEFAULT

Supported render-entity types are controlled through:

config/easy_npc/render_entity_type_support.cfg

This file is used to allow or block specific entity types for the custom render pipeline.

The main configuration screen includes a Change Model screen for supported NPCs.

Switch the render type:

/easy_npc render set type <NPC> <render_type>

Assign a rendered entity model:

/easy_npc render set model <NPC> <entity_type>

Example:

/easy_npc render set model ed3cec26-a657-4064-8436-8564fb722d6f minecraft:spider

Assign a Cobblemon species:

/easy_npc render set species <NPC> <species_id>

Reset back to the default render type:

/easy_npc render set type <NPC> DEFAULT

Important: render set model only works on Doppler NPCs, render set species only on Cobblemon NPCs.

The available raw renderer implementations are defined in:

core/Common/src/main/java/de/markusbordihn/easynpc/client/renderer/entity/raw

If a rendered entity type is not supported there or is disabled in the support config, Easy NPC cannot use it as a custom rendered model.

If a third-party model or renderer behaves incorrectly, first verify whether the target entity type is supported by the Easy NPC render pipeline and whether another mod is modifying the renderer in a conflicting way.
