An extensive guide for Minecraft's obj loader (Forge/Neoforge)

1) Preparing our .obj model!

If you are reading this, you probably have a .obj file already, and also a .mtl file if you want to textures on it.

Common issue: your .obj has Quads! Minecraft mod loaders do not accept Quads, you MUST Triangulate your model.

How to triangulate your model (Blender):

  • Open your Obj file with the .mtl (Also called Wavefront format)
  • Select "Edit Mode", you can either use the Tab key (⇥) or click manually in "Object Mode" to change the mode to "Edit". image
