# MEG Client Mod<\/p>\n
A client-side Minecraft mod that optimizes Model Engine animation packets by replacing per-entity metadata updates with a single bulk payload using half-precision encoding, significantly reducing bandwidth usage for complex models.<\/p>\n
## Supported Platforms<\/p>\n
– Fabric
\n– Forge
\n– NeoForge<\/p>\n
**Minecraft:** 1.19.4 – 1.21.x<\/p>\n
## How It Works<\/p>\n
When installed, the mod registers the `modelengine:bulk_data` plugin channel. The Model Engine server plugin detects this and sends optimized bulk animation packets instead of individual entity data updates. Transformation data (position, rotation, scale) is encoded as half-precision floats, cutting payload size roughly in half compared to vanilla packets.<\/p>\n
Players without the mod receive standard packets as usual, no compatibility issues.<\/p>\n
## Installation<\/p>\n
Drop the mod JAR into your `mods\/` (Fabric\/NeoForge) or `mods\/` (Forge) folder. No configuration needed. The server must be running Model Engine 4.<\/p>\n
## Important Notice<\/p>\n
The custom payload protocol (`modelengine:bulk_data`) is designed exclusively for use with Model Engine. Third-party model plugins that send packets over this channel without proper implementation may cause visual glitches, desyncs, or client crashes. If you experience issues while using a non-Model Engine plugin, disable this mod and report the problem to that plugin’s author, not here.<\/p>\n
