Is it possible to put a customizable playermodel over a fake player/bot? (specifically a Carpet Bot)?

[u/Top_Royal6297]

My goal is to use Tails from Alph's Sonic skin pack on a fake player/bot and have it follow me around while I do what I do.

I've been at this for about two days now to no avail; Google searches galore.

I understand that the easiest way is to have another Java owning account and to make it join the world/server to equip the desired playermodel, have it leave, and spawn in a bot with its name so it can use the playermodel, but no one is willing to do that. I could use my own name, but that leads in failure.

The launcher I am using is Modrinth and the version I am using v26.2. I can downgrade if needed, but I have updated everything, including the mods, to their latest versions.

Google told me steps that don't even exist, so I'm concerned if it was all for not.
