Customize Villager Appearance or Swap Character Models

Editing Custom Entity Models

The Genshin Villager Resource Pack uses OptiFine's CEM system, which stores model files in the pack's assets/minecraft/optifine/cem/ directory.

Basic Customization

1. Extract the resource pack to access its files.

2. Locate the villager model files (typically named by profession or character).

3. Edit texture files (.png) using an image editor to recolor outfits or adjust details.

4. Modify model files (.jem and .jpm) if you want to change geometry or animations—this requires understanding OptiFine's CEM format.

5. Repack the modified files and reload the resource pack in-game.

Swapping Characters

To replace one character model with another:

  • Obtain or create an alternative CEM model file for your desired character.
  • Replace the target profession's model files with the new character's files.
  • Ensure file names and structure match the original pack's format.

Important Notes

Advanced edits require familiarity with OptiFine's CEM documentation. Incorrect file structure will prevent models from loading. Always back up original files before editing.
