grace christmas model for jenny

minecraft — Mods & Enhancements

This mod replaces the default Jenny model (from the popular 'Jenny' mod, which adds a friendly NPC companion) with a Christmas-themed variant of Grace, complete with a festive sweater, Santa hat, and reindeer antlers. It changes the character's geometry and texture files (using .json and .png files in the assets folder) to give Jenny a holiday makeover while keeping her behavior and dialogue intact. Players install this for seasonal immersion during Christmas events on multiplayer servers or to add a festive touch to their single-player builds, especially when combined with holiday resource packs like 'Christmas in Minecraft'.

🎯 Tips & Tricks

Install after the base Jenny mod, not before

In your mods folder, ensure 'jenny-1.12.2.jar' (or your version) is present, then place 'grace-christmas-model-for-jenny.jar' in the same folder. If using Forge, launch the game once to generate configs, then open 'config/grace_christmas.cfg' and set 'modelOverride=true' to force the Christmas skin over the default Jenny texture.

Use resource pack merging for custom texture edits

To tweak the sweater color, extract the mod's assets/grace_christmas/textures/models/grace.png, edit it in an image editor (like GIMP), then place it in a resource pack under 'assets/grace_christmas/textures/models/' and enable that pack above the mod in the resource pack screen (Options > Resource Packs). This avoids breaking the mod's internal files.

Force the model to load in multiplayer with optifine

If you get a black or invisible model on servers, open your options.txt file in the .minecraft folder, set 'modelPart:grace_christmas' to 'true', and ensure 'shaders' are disabled in OptiFine settings (Video Settings > Shaders > Off). This prevents shader conflicts that hide the custom geometry.

🔧 Troubleshooting

Conflicts with the 'Jenny' mod's animation mod (e.g., 'Mo' Bends or 'Custom NPCs') causing the model to freeze or clip

Disable the 'animate' option in the grace_christmas config file (config/grace_christmas.cfg) by setting 'animationSupport=false'. Then, in the 'Mo' Bends' mod menu, set 'jenny' to 'default' instead of 'bendable' to avoid overriding the custom model's rig.

Incompatibility with 'Just Enough Items' (JEI) causing a crash when viewing Jenny's inventory

Downgrade JEI to version 4.15.0.291 or earlier, or update to the latest version, as the crash is caused by a JEI rendering call that conflicts with the custom model's bounding box. You can also patch by adding 'grace_christmas' to the JEI blacklist in 'jei.cfg' under 'blacklistItems'.
