FPModel x Compat

A technical compatibility layer for First Person Model (FPM) that keeps first-person body rendering stable when used with combat, animation, spellcasting, roll, accessory, and cosmetic mods.

The goal is simple: your first-person body should stay aligned with the camera, avoid visual clipping, and hide obstructive head/accessory cosmetics only for you, while keeping them visible in third-person and for other players.

Compatibility Recommendation

If you use Better Combat with EMF-based player animation/resource packs such as Fresh Animations Player or Fresh Moves, installing Entity Player Compat is recommended to fix animation conflicts.

Compatibility & Integrations

Combat & Gameplay

• Better Combat

  • Synchronizes arm rotations and body offsets with camera pitch during attack animations.
  • Detects active combat animation phases for smoother first-person rendering.

• Spell Engine

  • Extends first-person alignment fixes to spell-casting poses.
  • Helps hands, weapons, and staves follow the player’s view more naturally.

• Combat Roll

  • Stabilizes first-person body rendering during rolls.
  • Prevents camera clipping and visual jitter during movement transitions.

• Punchy

  • First Person Model Priority: Prevents Punchy's FPM integration from blocking First Person Model body rendering when Punchy is disabled or when its FPM hide angle is set to never.
  • Animation State Restoration: Restores Better Combat and Spell Engine first-person animation settings after Punchy's runtime hooks disable them.

Accessories, Equipment & Cosmetics

• Accessories

  • Hides head-related accessory slots in first-person, such as head, hat, face, mask, and goggles.
  • Keeps accessories visible in third-person and for other players.

• Curios API (NeoForge)

  • Applies the same first-person head-slot hiding behavior to Curios-based equipment.

• Essential

  • Hides head-related Essential cosmetics in first-person when FPM renders the local player body.
  • Keeps Essential cosmetics visible in third-person and for other players.
  • Supported on both Fabric and NeoForge.

• Relics (NeoForge)

  • Adds custom renderer fixes for Relics items such as the Piglin Mask and Chef’s Hat.

• Artifacts

  • Hides scarf-style renderers in first-person while allowing other artifacts to render normally.

Configuration

The mod includes an ignoredAccessorySlots option that controls which accessory/cosmetic slot names are hidden in first-person.

Project Goal

FPModel x Compat started as a bridge between First Person Model and Better Combat, but it is growing into a broader compatibility hub for first-person rendering.
