Fallback Model

This page details the Mantle fallback model loader, registered as mantle:fallback.

Loader

The fallback model loader is used to load the first model with a valid loader from a list. The first model with a loaded mod ID will be used. Mod ID will either be the key fallback_mod_id, or the namespace from loader. If neither is set, model always loads.

Format

• Object: Base object
  • models (array): Array of model objects options
    • A model (object): A single model object.
      • loader (string): Model loader name (optional). If unset, uses vanilla model loader.
      • fallback_mod_id (string): Required mod ID to use this model. If unset, defaults to the namespace from loader. If loader is unset, model always loads.
      • All keys from the relevant loader

Example

The following JSON produces a connected model if Tinkers Construct is loaded, and a vanilla model otherwise. Note that if fallback_mod_id was not specified, the dependency for the first model would be Mantle.
