TacZ Mesh Loader

This mod is in beta. Please be aware that it may behave unexpectedly. Also, please note that this mod is not a gun pack and does not include any weapons. Additionally, support for this mod will be discontinued if TacZ ever adds support for mesh models.

This add-on is not an official TacZ add-on; it is unofficial. Please do not report any bugs caused by this add-on to the TacZ server under any circumstances. Please report them exclusively in the comments section of this mod or on Vell's Mods info server.

In the current version, there is a bug that causes issues with the display of the gun on the mesh model when switching shaders. This issue can be resolved by re-entering the world or restarting Minecraft. We plan to address this issue in future versions.

Overview

TacZ Mesh Loader is a client-side mod that allows TacZ gun and attachment models to use poly_mesh geometry exported by the BlockBench plugin Meshy. 

By default, TacZ only supports Bedrock-format cube models. With this mod installed, gunpack creators can use polygon mesh models — smooth shapes built from triangle and quad polygons — directly in TacZ guns and attachments.

Features

• Poly mesh support — Loads Meshy-exported poly_mesh geometry directly into TacZ's model pipeline.
• Guns & attachments — Works for both gun models and attachments such as scopes and suppressors.
• VBO caching — Caches vertex buffer objects per light level to minimize rendering overhead even when multiple guns are on the ground simultaneously.

For Gunpack Creators

The model type can only be defined if this MOD is installed. In the JSON file used for display, simply define a new “model_type”and set it to “mesh”. Please note that the definition ‘model_type’:“mesh” is only required for the gun itself and is not necessary for attachments.

File locations and structure follow the standard TacZ gunpack format. Models should be created in BlockBench using the Meshy Plugin. You can download it directly from the blockbench plugin list.

Please note that if you use this MOD to create and release a gun pack for mesh models, you must define this MOD as a dependency.
