/**
 * ModelDesignTemplates
 *
 * Provides starter model templates for common Minecraft entity types.
 * These templates use Minecraft's native coordinate system: 16 units = 1 block.
 * All origin, size, and pivot values are in Minecraft pixel units.
 *
 * ARCHITECTURE:
 * - Templates are stored as JSON files in `public/data/model_templates/`
 * - Use `getModelTemplateAsync()` to load templates dynamically (required)
 * - Templates are cached after first load for performance
 *
 * REFACTORING NOTE (2024):
 * Templates were moved from bundled TypeScript to external JSON files to reduce
 * bundle size (~4000 lines / 170KB removed). All consumers should use async loading.
 * The JSON files are located in `public/data/model_templates/{type}.model.json`.
