Can someone make this MorePlayerModels mod work with 1.15.2?

[ImpoliteSand868]

Hey Guys, I need some help, I'm trying to fix this for myself but I am not very good a java.

I'd be very glad to get some help with this, if you already have/will get More Player Models fixed and working with 1.15.2 please tell me in the forum conversation boxes down below and post a link to your download for the "Updated" mod.

Original here: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/more-player-models

the version I have had downloaded for a while is the 1.12.2 compatible version of the mod.

 I'm gonna try to fix it myself, but as I said, I'm not good a java programing. I know c#, and that it is similar to Java. But I'd be grateful for any help. 

P.S the image below shows what I did wrong when originally trying to be updating the mod, if you want a download link of the File I tried to fix, I'll give it to you.

If you know any alternative mod that do the same thing as More Player Models, please tell me

I'm not planning on selling this, just for personal use.

Mods do not work across Minecraft versions. You will have to rewrite the mod.

Ok, well, do you know any tutorials for that. Cause I switched from mcpe and I'm more used to that cause most texture packs and addons work with most versions. Maybe you know some other mod that allows you to edit player limb size(legs, arms, torso, head)(So i could even become a tiny baby-like mc player, or giant) and lets you morph to mobs that I could use for 1.15?

If you want to change the player model and makes it constant (no more changing of the model in-game), then you could use a data pack (or is it called texture pack?) to edit the player model.

 

If you want the player to be able to change his/her player model in-game, then you have to use a mod.

Unfortunately I do not know any mod that does that in 1.15.

Ok, well, I'll keep looking, but I wanna keep this post up so others can share their thought, somebody has to know what to do

Im gonna try to set the loader version, but does anyone know how to change the javafml to match latest?

... No. This WILL NOT work.

Changing the FML version will fool Forge into loading the mod, but mods across versions are not compatible AT ALL. The codebase for 1.12.2 and 1.15 is completely different, and mods in 1.12.2 use code that no longer exists (or work the same way) in 1.15. This will result in a crash.

So, what I'm getting, is that One: I'll have to change every reference to any older versions. Two: I'll basically completely rewrite this mod, then it'll hopefully work?

Or could I get a later version like 1.13, I think that's the latest available. and try to edit that

Kind of. However not only references change across versions, but also concepts, practices, and the way the game works. You will have to change a lot from 1.12 to 1.15 (almost completely rewriting).

No. 1.13 is very different from 1.12. This still will not work.

In general, mods across all versions will not work with any other version of Minecraft. They are fundamentally not compatible. There might be exceptions such as 1.15.1 -> 1.15.2, but that only works if the Modder is lucky and never use any code that was changed in the progress (which rarely happens).

Ok, well, maybe somebody on this forum could take a look at the attached links above and do whatever they need to do? I'm not a pro coder when it comes to java, I mostly do c# and visual basic

[DavidM]

C# and Java are very similar syntax-wise. Java would be very easy to learn if you are familiar with C#.

Thanks DavidM, I'm gonna try to do this, but I'm also gonna change the title and description so more people can understand the issue.

Also I'm gonna ask people to update it(Just in case I cannot do it soon)
