About this Mod

CurseForge – Modrinth – Wiki
BBS mod is the content creator's Minecraft mod. It allows content creators create animations, roleplays, and machinimas within Minecraft! However, BBS mod's strongest point is creating animations.
It's made for Fabric 1.20.4 and 1.20.1. However, 1.20.1 build can be used on Forge with Sinytra Connector mod.
You can donate on Patreon, Afdian, or Boosty.
Feature set
- Basic player's actions recording and playback.
- Keyframe-based replay editor.
- Clip-based camera editor.
- Blockbench model support (animations, meshes, variables, etc.).
- Partial Snowstorm particles support.
- Model blocks, which allow you to place and hold custom custom models.
- Form system, which allows mixing animate models, blocks, items, images, particles, etc. to create appearances for actors and model blocks.
- And lots of useful UI tweaks...
In comparison to Blockbuster mod, BBS mod's user experience was drastically improved! It's still not on par with Blockbuster mod feature-wise though.
Installing
To install BBS mod, you need Fabric and Fabric API. Put Fabric API and BBS mod into your mods folder, and that should do it!
Installing on Forge
Thanks to Sinytra Connector mod, it's possible to use BBS mod's 1.20.1 build on Forge! Install Sinytra Connector, its complementary mods and it should run! Don't expect Optifine to work with BBS mod! Use Sodium and Iris corresponding port mods.

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if BBS mod consumes the most tick time.
