Entity Model Features, often shortened to EMF, is a client-side Java Edition mod for players who want OptiFine-format Custom Entity Models while using loaders such as Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, or Quilt. It is built around resource pack compatibility, especially packs that depend on custom entity model behavior.
What It Adds
EMF focuses on entity model features rather than broad rendering changes. It lets supported resource packs replace or adjust entity models in the OptiFine CEM style, which is useful for animated mobs, custom player model poses, and visual packs that expect those model hooks.
- Loader support is listed for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, and Quilt.
- The mod is required on the client and is not a server-side mod.
- Entity Texture Features is listed as a required companion mod.
- Entity Culling is presented as a useful optional companion for animation-heavy packs.
Who Should Install It
Install EMF when a resource pack asks for Custom Entity Model support and you are using an OptiFine alternative setup. It fits Sodium-centered clients, visual mod stacks, and resource pack setups that need entity model features without moving the whole profile to OptiFine.
Install Notes

- 2.Add Entity Model Features to the client mods folder.
- 3.Add Entity Texture Features as the required companion mod.
- 4.Add your CEM-compatible resource pack through Minecraft's resource pack menu.
