Description from the author on Modrinth

BetterAnimation

Bring Blockbench models to life on your Minecraft server. Import .bbmodel and .ajblueprint projects, play their animations in-game, and let BetterAnimation rebuild the resource pack whenever your models change.

Getting started

  1. Place the plugin JAR in plugins/ and start the server.
  2. Add projects with embedded PNG textures to plugins/BetterAnimation/models/.
  3. Run /ba list to see the available models and animations.
  4. Run /ba play in-game. Use Tab to select a model and animation.

The generated pack is saved to plugins/BetterAnimation/BetterAnimation.zip. Set pack.public-url in config.yml to a URL players can reach to offer the updated pack automatically. You can host the ZIP yourself or enable the built-in HTTP server.

Commands

Command · What it does
/ba · Shows help.
/ba list · Lists imported models and animations.
/ba play · Plays an animation in front of you and returns its playback UUID.
/ba stop · Stops a playback and removes its model.
/ba stop all · Stops all playbacks.
/ba reload · Rescans models and rebuilds the resource pack.
/ba pack · Offers the current pack or shows its file path.

/betteranimation is the full command name. The betteranimation.admin permission is granted to operators by default.

Compatibility

Beta release for Bukkit-compatible Minecraft Java Edition servers. The target range is 1.21.4–26.3. The plugin was built against Paper API 26.3, and both import formats were checked. Live compatibility across server implementations and versions is still being verified.

Use cube-based projects with embedded PNG textures and numeric animation keyframes. Meshes, Molang expressions, sound tracks, and command tracks are currently unsupported.

RU

BetterAnimation

Проигрывайте анимации Blockbench на сервере Minecraft. Плагин импортирует .bbmodel и .ajblueprint и автоматически пересобирает ресурспак при добавлении, замене или удалении моделей.

Установка

  1. Положите JAR в plugins/ и запустите сервер.
  2. Добавьте проекты со встроенными PNG-текстурами в plugins/BetterAnimation/models/.
  3. Выполните /ba list, чтобы увидеть доступные модели и анимации.
  4. В игре выполните /ba play . Названия можно выбрать через Tab.

Готовый пакет находится в plugins/BetterAnimation/BetterAnimation.zip. Для автоматической отправки пакета игрокам укажите в config.yml доступный им адрес pack.public-url. ZIP можно раздавать через свой веб-сервер или встроенный HTTP-сервер плагина.

Команды

Команда · Что делает
/ba · Показывает справку.
/ba list · Показывает импортированные модели и анимации.
/ba play · Запускает анимацию перед игроком и возвращает UUID проигрывания.
/ba stop · Останавливает проигрывание и убирает модель.
/ba stop all · Останавливает все проигрывания.
/ba reload · Перечитывает модели и пересобирает ресурспак.
/ba pack · Предлагает актуальный пакет или показывает путь к ZIP.

Полное имя команды — /betteranimation. Право betteranimation.admin по умолчанию есть у операторов.

Совместимость

Бета-версия для серверов Minecraft Java Edition с Bukkit API. Целевой диапазон — 1.21.4–26.3. Сборка проверена против Paper API 26.3, импорт проверен для обоих форматов. Совместимость на всех ядрах и версиях ещё проверяется.

Поддерживаются модели из кубов со встроенными PNG и числовыми ключами анимации. Меши, выражения Molang, звуковые и командные дорожки пока не поддерживаются.
