Consider making a wiki (text file, gist, etc) where you'll collect a list of current resource packs that work well with this mod.
I tried a few and did not succeed for the most part, regardless of whether the second compatibility option is enabled or not.

Is there any chance you could show me some of these errors? Also what config options are you using?

Also what config options are you using?

Both of your options enabled - Optifine compatibility and model creation fix.

Here's a quick test on Super Mario Craft:

With model creation fix

Without model creation fix

MC 1.17.1, CEM 0.6.2, Fabric API 0.39.2+1.17, CompleteConfig 1.1.0, ClothConfig 5.0.38, Mod Menu 2.0.5

I was looking at Super Mario Craft, and from what I can tell from a few minutes, the model errors are caused by animation problems only. Apart from absolute animations, it looks like all the models are loading correctly. Absolute animations are currently a WIP.

Understandable, but a typical user would not be able to know that, hence the initial suggestion of recommending some packs.

Fair enough

Are you still considering it?

Oh whoops completely forgot about this
I don't really have a lot of time to scroll through resource packs to rate them but if you or anyone had suggestions I could make a list.
Also, I was waiting until release 0.7.0 before doing this, because that's when I plan to support FreshAnimations

I don't really have a lot of time to scroll through resource packs to rate them but if you or anyone had suggestions I could make a list.

But which resource packs are you testing the mod on? That could be a nice start.

Right now the only ones are FreshAnimations and the Super Mario pack

my resource pack fully supports your mod! thanks for your amazing work

that's good to know!
thanks for the support!

if you don't mind, could you say what you had to change so that hopefully it'll help me figure out what to fix?

the arms for villagers were 1 pixel different in z so I had to adjust it. apart from that, I just slapped it in!
however 1.16.5 doesn't seem to work

the 1.16.5 version doesn't support villagers, so that's to be expected

just used Endexyz Mobs models with this mod, thank you for your work!
