Fallback Model Loader
The fallback model loader allows a block or item to select between different models based on the mods that are loaded. Unlike other Mantle models, this is just a loader, and typically will load another model format.
Fallback
The fallback model loader allows selecting between different model loaders on the basis of loaded mods. It has the following format:
mantle:fallback
.
Always - Loader to use for this model option. If unset, uses the vanilla block model loader.
- Mod that must be loaded to use this model option. If unset, defaults to the namespace of the loader, or unconditional if no loader is set.
- All fields from the model loader.
A single model in the list.
List of model loaders to try.
Fallback JSON.
Example
The following JSON produces a connected model if Tinkers’ Construct is loaded, and a vanilla model otherwise. Note that if fallback_mod_id was not specified, the dependency for the first model would be Mantle.
