Would love to add this to a server! If able to, are we able to look into the mod and see if we could find a fix for it and possible update it?

tragedy

Okay guys I'm lowk going to be honest I don't think a update is coming bros

Sorry gang 😢

Therexa Thank you SO MUCH for this. I can finally be a bird player <3

Tho, there is this "leg" inside my left leg, which seems to have a random color every time i ... Any idea how to fix that?^^" I tried swapping between Seraph and Birb around 30 times, it didnt fix it for me.

Edit: After some testing: It's the Default Seraph's left Leg - it is always the loaded default seraph's skin color. I cannot get rid of it. It is also fully functional and moves, and it feels like body horror and i hate it. Is this caused by another mod? Or is code present somewhere to... well not fully replace it? Would love if you have an idea on how to fix it. I can also give my mod list if that helps, but none of them messes with the default seraph.

For anyone looking to get the texture issue fixed, if you navigate to [downloaded_folder]\assets\birdplayer\config\customplayermodels\config.json and change the the first section in "SkinnableParts" from:

```
            {
                "code": "feathercolor",
                "type": "texture", 
                "variants": [
                    { "code": "feather-default", "texture": "birdplayer:entity/humanoid/seraphskinparts/feathers/avian" },
                    { "code": "feather-1", "texture": "birdplayer:entity/humanoid/seraphskinparts/feathers/avian" }
                ]
            },
```

to:

```
               {
                   "code": "feathercolor",
                   "type": "texture",
                   "textureTarget": "avian",
                   "textureTemplate": "birdplayer:entity/humanoid/seraphskinparts/feathers/{code}",
                   "variants": [
                       { "code": "avian", "texture": "avian" }
                   ]
               },
```

it appears to apply the correct (default corvid) texture! No texture/shape changes needed :D

• If you still see texture issues, swap back and forth between the default Seraph and Birdplayer in the character select popup a few times. No idea why, but it worked for me.

(Disclaimer: The boots still seem a little wonky, but this is to be expected given the unique body shape. But hey, now you can be burb so who cares about boots :3)

Hope this mod gets updated, love the look of the model!

i am in dire need to finally be birdplayer

Count me in as also psyched for the upcoming update to be a bird player (which is for birds)

Saying that im excited to hear of this beeing updated is a severe understatement. I was procrastinating updating my world for months when i saw this wasn't updated, just to play with it D:

Brother you're saving my soul with this. Thank you so much! <3 All the love from the Rhayvhenn. Im SO hyped. 

excited for a potential update, mod looks really cool!

It's really nice to hear this mod is getting updated I showed this to my brother and he said that he'll finally play vintage with me (he loves kenkus) 😄

Ahhhhh and I awake from my hibernation

830 Birdplayers? Wonderful

I never expected this many downloads

Someone contacted me about this mod and now I remembered to update it

Expect a possible update sometime soon, using the newest version of playermodellib

Thx yall

You guys are my Birdplayers

AzuliBluespots The faulty file, `assets/birdplayer/config/model-replacements-bycode.json`, is empty in both versions of the mod. The error is logged because empty .json files are not valid JSON.

So, it's probably unrelated. This mod used to work despite containing invalid JSON.

Rather than a texture failing to load, I think it's actually an outdated UV mapping—a set coordinates describing which part of a texture is drawn to a given part of a model. I recall both VS 1.21.0 and Player Model Lib making changes that this mod would need to adapt to. For example, search for `uv` in this mod's `assets/birdplayer/shapes/entity/humanoid/seraph-faceless.json`.

birds ey? 🐦

Hello! I really hope this gets updated soon. Our server is 1.21.1, and atm the model works, but the textures dont load onto the character. Keep up the great work, amazing mod otherwise!

massive bird enjoyer

really glad this exists and would love love love to see it fully fleshed out!

holy hell this mod is peak as hell, can we get an updated version soon?

I tested and the textures really aren't reloading. There's some log error related to this mod.

18.9.2025 09:19:35 [Error] [Player Model Lib] [CustomModelsSystem] Failed to get model replacements from 'birdplayer:config/model-replacements-bycode.json'. Exception: Newtonsoft.Json.JsonReaderException: Error reading JToken from JsonReader. Path '', line 0, position 0.

I sure hope so.

Will this get updated?

Someone mentioned changing to seraph and back to your model of choice fixes the texture loading issue.

Excuse me what is this? And how do I fix it?

Ive been wanting to make a bird model for a while and I still cant figure out how to make ANYTHING. would it be fine if I tinker around with the model, im bored :P

BIRD

BIRD

BIRD

birb

this is absolutely beak

In the character preview for some reason the pants model is facing outwards. Looks like a cool mod though!

Blue jay color is coming next update along with a few other birds

hope this ends up being a more generic corvid thing, such as including various Jays as options.

v99 Ahhh, no worries at all! I brought it up since Kemono allows a lot of modularity as it is, but it pretty much cuts out the option to use different character models and doesn't have any bird parts for it really - and my singleplayer adventures kinda made your mod into an absolute must for me. lol
(Whenever I turn Kemono on for the afternoon social group, it seems to override Maltiez's Player Model Lib in the char-creation screen - can't select anything other than Kemono parts. Bluh. :/)

Maltiez's Player Model Lib seems like the best bet for a more unified way to support variety between player models, but if there's something that doesn't have a model then someone's outta luck. I'm a little ambivalent as a result, since Kemono switching to or getting support for Maltiez's mod would be the ideal, but I have no idea if that'll ever happen; the runner-up is someone patching in new bodyparts/etc. for use with Kemono, but aahhhh I have no idea how to do that else I'd do it myself. As things are, I'm mostly waiting to see if Kemono makes the jump to Maltiez - however, if I get documentation from the Kemono devs on how to add models then I'd be more than willing to take a crack at it, with permission of course!

Bottom line: just thought I'd explain a bit about the rationale, since it's frustrating having friends be all "I wanna play x custom scrunkle" while I'm like "AAAAA BUT BIRBS" and not being able to do a lot about it. lol
Maybe I oughta bully my friends to not be so hung up about playing fox-dragon-whatever-people in multiplayer. lol

Adorer of all things gwah here-- this is incredible, thank you for making it!

Mairujyat Ive never used kemono or even know what kemono is about but from what I know it just sounds like a library mod similar to player model lib and I dont see why I should make a compat patch for it when this mod already works for playermodellib

So unfortunately I will not be doing the compat patch for kemono

Any chance you could do a customization patch for Kemono? Though I'm also super keen for Kemono to switch to Player Model Lib which would probably solve a lot of issues, so I dunno, either/or would be great, 'cause I'm genuinely loving what I've seen of this mod so far! <3

hope you guys didnt lose interest because armor update is out!!! the mod is slightly more usable now

Shall watch this with great interest

You’re on a path in the woods, and at the end of that path, is a cabin....

nope that's an issue on my side since clothing compatibility is handled by this mod, i'll fix that next update

As a crow myself this mod makes me very happy, loaded up the mod to do some testing and noticed the clockmakers appron was bugged, The appron was floating off of the legs, i DO have quite a few other mods installed so they might be causing this issue but figured i'd let y'know anyways! (trying to figure out how to add an image)

Awesome! keep it up 

thx gng

Omg its like this mod was made for me personally 0o0

So cute! Love it. If you want any help with colors/body textures maybe I could contribute some

Very excited to see this be developed further, I appreciate this as a fellow bird enjoyer, 10 gwahs out of 10 🐦🐦🐦

This is really well done. Even being in work in progress, what you have made here so far is just phenomenal. I am excited to see what this mod will hold once it is done, I thank you. :D

watch out for armor and shoes they're unfinished

Me and my friend already added this to our server hehe

this one's for you

As a bird, thank you gwah
