Entities and animations.

Only item and block models are supported; rendering and animation of entities such as players is not supported.

Unable to load model: 'special-model-loader:builtin/obj'

If the model loading scope is not defined, it will not be loaded. Please refer to: "Specify the scope of model loading."

public class ExampleModClient implements ClientModInitializer {
    @Override
    public void onInitializeClient() {
        SpecialModelLoaderEvents.LOAD_SCOPE.register(() -> {
            return (resourceManager, location) -> ExampleMod.MODID.equals(location.getNamespace());
        });
    }
}

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: trying to load net.fabricmc.loader.impl.FabricLoaderImpl from target class loader
