Hi, vivecraft dev here. then next vivecraft version will have some internal changes, which breaks this mixin
https://github.com/tom5454/CustomPlayerModels/blob/master/CustomPlayerModels-1.20.4/src/platform-shared/java/com/tom/cpm/mixin/compat/VRArmRendererMixin_%24vivecraft.java#L50-L65

because I renamed that method from renderItem to renderHand

am I correct in the assumption that if we directly use the getTextureLocation method to get the skin this wouldn't be needed?
if so I can change that to that.

Yes, that's correct.

okay, then I'll change the skin fetch to that. if you could make that redirect optional, so that the game doesn't break. that would be great
