# ModelPatchLoader - ComfyUI Built-in Node Documentation

> The ModelPatchLoader node loads specialized model patch files from the modelpatches folder.

The ModelPatchLoader node loads specialized model patch files from the model\_patches folder. It automatically detects the patch type from the file contents and loads the corresponding model architecture, then wraps it in a ModelPatcher for use in the workflow. This node supports different patch types including controlnet blocks, feature embedder models, and other specialized architectures.

## Inputs

| Parameter | Description                                                               | Data Type | Required | Range                                                      |

| `name`    | The filename of the model patch to load from the model\_patches directory | STRING    | Yes      | All available model patch files from model\_patches folder |

Note: This node is marked as experimental. The patch type is detected automatically from the file contents, so no manual type selection is required.

## Outputs

| Output Name   | Description                                                              | Data Type    |
