Minecraft – How to edit an entity model

minecraft-java-edition

I have been trying to edit an entity's model in Minecraft. Is there any way to do this? I understand that Optifine can be used, but is there another way?

For example, say I wanted to remove the head of a zombie model. How could I do that?

I've tried to search the appdata folders, and have downloaded model makers, but don't know how to use them without Optifine. I would be fine using it, but I'm using update 1.14.

You can't, this feature isn't implemented yet, you can only remodel blocks and items: https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Model (archive)

Instead, you can remodel a block and use a falling_block entity. I honestly have no idea how custom models work, but there are tutorials online. You can apply it to this case for example like this:

/summon falling_block ~ ~ ~ {Time:1,NoAI:1,NoGravity:1,BlockState:{Name:"stone"}}

Of course you'll want to use something that doesn't appear anywhere else normally. If you can't guarantee that, you'll have to try to use items and the custom_model_data NBT tag. I think that applies model files like "stone5.json".
