jackie model for bia

minecraft — Mods & Enhancements

This mod replaces the default 'Bia' NPC (from the 'Bia' mod, which adds a female villager-like companion) with a model based on the character Jackie, featuring a distinct hairstyle and modern outfit. It modifies the entity's renderer and texture files, specifically the .java class and .png assets, to change Bia's appearance while preserving her AI, trading, and dialogue systems. Players install this to give Bia a more unique, story-driven look that fits custom adventure maps or roleplay servers, especially when paired with mods like 'Custom NPCs' for deeper character customization.

🎯 Tips & Tricks

Backup Bia's original model before overwriting

In your mods folder, open 'bia-1.12.2.jar' with a zip tool (like 7-Zip), extract the 'assets/bia/models/entity/bia.png' and 'bia.class' files to a backup folder. Then, place the 'jackie-model-for-bia.jar' in the mods folder, and let Forge merge the files. If you want to revert, delete the jackie jar and restore the original files.

Adjust the model scale via config for smaller or larger Jackie

After first launch, open 'config/jackie_bia.cfg' and set 'modelScale=0.9' (or any value between 0.5 and 1.5) to change Bia's size. This is useful if you want Jackie to fit into smaller doorways or be more imposing in boss fights. Save the file and restart the game.

Use the 'Jackie' model with the 'Bia' mod's follower system

To make Jackie follow you, right-click her with a 'Bia Whistle' (crafted with 1 iron ingot and 1 string), then press 'F' to toggle follow mode. The model change doesn't affect this mechanic, but ensure you have the whistle in your hotbar to avoid confusion.

🔧 Troubleshooting

Crash with 'Custom NPCs' mod due to overlapping entity IDs (both use ID 120)

In the 'config/customnpcs.cfg', set 'entityID=121' for Custom NPCs, or in 'bia.cfg', set 'entityID=122'. This resolves the 'Duplicate entity ID' crash. Ensure you restart the game after editing.

Invisible Jackie when using 'OptiFine' with 'Fast Render' enabled

Go to Video Settings > Performance > Fast Render, and set it to 'Off'. This is because the custom model uses a custom render pass that conflicts with OptiFine's optimized rendering. Alternatively, install 'OptiFine HD U F5' which fixes this issue.
