For reference, this is all I have so far, because I don't want to clutter things before I learn how to actually do what I want to do: https://github.com/BadFox49/Forge-DynamicRaces-1.18.2

Listen, I'm grateful for all your help- however I'm just as lost as I was before, maybe now even moreso. I don't want to just give up on this. I doubt if I asked you to maybe do a code example you'd humor me, as for what I'm trying to do (set the player model to a specific model and skin I have in the mod directory) I can't seem to work off the Morph mod at all since it is fundamentally different and outdated (currently working with forge 1.18.2. Besides that, every mod that does something similar either relies on too many custom complex systems for me to grasp, or is plain outdated. I really really need help with this since it doesn't seem like anyone, save for a few people who incidentally don't leave comments in their code, knows how to do this. Once again, I just want to know how to render the player to a certain model with custom ModelParts and the texture. I can't use most mods as examples or help since they aren't clearly documented and are calling on a million variables from their own code which is also not documented. It seems like you know what you're doing, or atleast sounds like it. I'm not gonna ask for you to write my code for me, but if you could just write a simple .java class to render a model onto the player first, it would be a huge help.

This is quite helpful, but again, I need to see how to apply a render in-game once the player has decided on their race. So, essentially to do the render to a specific player when they actually choose.

Hello, I'm quite new to java and modding in minecraft so please be patient with me if I ask any stupid questions, but I'm currently working on a mod that incorporates the addition of several fantasy races (think Beastfolk, Mermaids, etc) and I've run into the dreaded coding wall I knew I'd run into eventually which is dynamically changing the players' models based on what race they select. I've got a few working models I've made but the thing is I don't have any idea on how to actually change the player's model, skin or perspective / POV. I've tried digging through source code of other mods to get an idea- and after a week I'm still completely lost on how to accomplish this. So far, I know that I need to do a player render event, subscribe bus, all that- which never seems to work in the slightest. Even trying to add a basic tail or ears proves unsuccessful. Again, I'm quite new to java and minecraft modding in general, and I don't want to ask someone to write me their own code, I just want to understand it and implement it- however any examples I find on this topic are extremely advanced and complex- having custom code that calls other instances of java files in a web of functions. Basically, what I need is for someone to kindly explain or just write some basic code on player rendering functions as dumbed down as possible for me. I'm very desperate at this point since every forum that asks about this is either never explained and left unanswered, or explained in a way that I can't wrap my head around. I've tried searching for tutorials on this, but just can't seem to find any.
