About this Mod
JSON Model Extensions
JMX adds support for FREX Rendering API features to Minecraft JSON model loading. It can also be configured to load all JSON models as FREX meshes, which may offer a modest reduction in memory usage due to more efficient data structures.
Current Features
- Backwards compatibility with Vanilla model JSONs
- Alternate texture definitions for each face
- Up to two sprite layers per face
- Material specification to control lighting, render layer
- Material inheritance, similar to other JSON model inheritance
- Support for separate definition for FREX renderers (useful for shaders)
- FREX definitions can reference shaders loaded via FREX JSON material loader
See the JMX Wiki for more information.

JMX server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is JMX compatible with fabric and quilt?
JMX officially supports fabric, quilt for Minecraft 1.20.1, 1.20, 23w13a_or_b. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with JMX – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if JMX consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
