Lightweight BlockBench model engine & entity animation
This plugin implements the server-side model by using an item-display packet.
  • Importing Generic BlockBench model (.bbmodel)
  • Auto-generating resource pack
  • Playing animation
  • Syncing with base entity
  • Custom hit box
  • Supports 12-limb player animation
Why do I create BetterModel even though ModelEngine already exists?
The main reason I created it is:
  • To reduce traffic usage—MEG’s traffic optimization is outdated and insufficient for modern servers.
  • To enable faster updates—We can’t afford to wait for MEG’s slow update cycle anymore.
  • To provide a more flexible API—MEG is closed-source with a very limited API, which makes extending or integrating difficult.
  • To restore vanilla behavior-MEG breaks several vanilla entity features and physics, which this project aims to fix.
Summary
[​IMG]
This plugin, of course, implements generic block bench model with animation.

Network optimization

[​IMG]
This plugin can optimize network by sight-trace. don't send some packet when player not look this.

Multiple hit-box
[​IMG]
[​IMG]
This plugin provides multiple hit-box both client and server. (tracking animation rotation)

MythicMobs support (experimental)

Like MEG, This plugin implements simple MythicMobs support.
