### What is Mson?<\/p>\n
Wiki | Model Language Definition<\/p>\n
Mson is a fabric library\/mod for defining and loading entity models through configurable json files.<\/p>\n
It makes modders’ lives easier by taking the model geometry out of the code and putting it in a place where it’s separated from game logic,
\nand it makes player’s lives better by making it possible for your models to be customised and replaced using nothing more than a resourcepack.<\/p>\n
## Getting Started [ResourcePack & Mod Creators]<\/p>\n
When MSON is installed, every entity model in the game can be loaded from an equivalent json file in the `assets\/ For a more complete list, and instructions on how to convert models already loaded into the game, check the Sample 1.20.1 Models wiki page.<\/p>\n ## Getting Started [Mod Creators]<\/p>\n Want to register your own models to load with mson? Doing so is as simple as:<\/p>\n 1) `assets\/ 2) `static ModelKey 3) `MyEntityModel Want to create a humanoid model? Mson already bundles models for steve, alex, and a simplistic quadruped, so just specify `{ “parent”: “mson:steve” }` as your starting model and add override for each body part as you go.
