About this Mod
DISCLAIMER
This mod is a fork of McHorse's BBS Mod and ALLLLLLLLL of the credits go to this amazing developer.
BBS Player Mod
As this is a FORK of the original BBS mod, here's a brief recap of what it does:
BBS Player Mod is essentially a streamlined version of the original BBS Mod, focusing solely on movie playback functionality. This mod allows players to watch movies through the /bbs command (OP privileges required).
The mod was designed specifically for Minecraft maps and events where you don't want players to access cinematic editors or morph functionalities. It provides a controlled way to showcase cinematic content without giving players the ability to alter or interact with the scenes themselves.
I REALLY recommend using this mod with BBS Player Plugin if you want your own films in a vanilla server (Also compatible with every BBS Mod fork)

BBS Player server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.11). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is BBS Player compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge?
BBS Player officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge for Minecraft 1.21.11, 1.21.10, 1.21.9. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with BBS Player – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if BBS Player consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
