Child Components

Child components are the bread and butter of the model. These are what form the actual cubes and boxes you see and typically can only be placed inside of a parent that can contain them.

Box (mson:box)

Texturable

A cube. Creates a single cube to render for a model. What else would you expect?

Aliases (Modders)

Fabric (Yarn)

- ModelPart.Cuboid

Blockbench

- Cube

Attributes

Attribute Name	Attribute Type	Default Value	Supports Variables	Description
from	number[3]	[0, 0, 0]	Yes	The starting point (lower XYZ) of the cube.
size	number[3]	[0, 0, 0]	Yes	The XYZ dimensions of the cube.
texture	texture	{inherited}	No	Defines the texture u, v, w, and h for this component. #see Textures for more details.
stretch	number[3]	{inherited}	No	The XYZ stretch factor. The plane will be expanded along each axis as determined by this value.
mirror	boolean	{inherited}	No	Determines whether the X texture coordinates are mirrored for this box. Used in entities to reflect the left/right legs, for instance.

Plane (mson:plane)

Texturable

Similar to a cube, but only renders one face.

Aliases (Modders)

There is no equivalent to this in vanilla or blockbench, sorry.

Attributes

Attribute Name	Attribute Type	Default Value	Supports Variables	Description
position	number[3]	[0, 0, 0]	Yes	The starting point (lower XYZ) of the plane. similar to a cube's from parameter. I get it. It's inconsistent, okay?
size	number[2]	[0, 0]	Yes	The width and height of the plane.
texture	texture	{inherited}	Yes	Defines the texture u, v, w, and h for this component. #see Textures for more details.
mirror	boolean[3]	{inherited}	No	Defines the XYZ mirroring of this component's textures.
stretch	number[3]	{inherited}	No	The XYZ stretch factor. The box will be expanded along each axis as determined by this value.
face	facing	{required}	No	The direction this plane is facing. Determines its orientation as well is which side of the face points "up". #See Facing for more details.

Cone (mson:cone)

Texturable

Extends: mson:box.

A cone, or as close as we can get to one in vanilla. Creates a square-based pyramid (rombus).

Aliases (Modders)

There is no equivalent to this in vanilla or blockbench, sorry.

Attributes

Supports all the attributes from mson:box plus the following:

Attribute Name	Attribute Type	Default Value	Supports Variables	Description
taper	number	0	No	The degree to which the narrow end of this cone is tapered. Can become a point by making this value equal to half the width of the base, or a flat tip by making it less. 0 is just a cube. Results may vary depending on whether the base is actually square or not.
