Adding Custom Models

To add your own models you only need:

1) Model Files

Place your custom files here:

Common/Characters/

Each model needs:

• ModelName.blockymodel (model data)
• ModelName.png (texture)

2) JSON Definition

Create a JSON definition file here:

Server/Models/

Example: MyModel.json

{
  "Model": "/Common/Characters/MyModel.blockymodel"
}
