Note: Many of the features here were written for my recent update of ResurrectionChest, so you can check that out to see some of the new models and features!



FreeMinecraftModels 2.3.0:
- [New] Massive rewrites! This improves and adds a ton of features - the following changelog may not cover everything, but it tries to. This also brings a couple of API changes, which should be for the better in the long run as they seek to simplify how the API can be used while also making it far more powerful.
- [New] Added PlayerDisguiseEntity, basically allowing players to be used as dynamic entities for disguises
- [New] Added command /fmm disguise <modelName> which allows players to disguise themselves as specific models
- [New] Added command /fmm undisguise to remove disguises
- [New] Models can now use tag_ in bone names as meta indicators for name tags, displaying any set display name there
- This works with empty bones, where the pivot point will be used
- This also works with bones that contain cubes
- Models can have multiple name tags, or no name tags
- Name tags currently only use armor stands for maximum compatibility, text displays coming soon
- [New] Added new interpolation types for animations
- SMOOTH
- BEZIER
- STEP
- [New] Vastly improved the props system, which now uses callbacks via API to define behavior and can create packet-based blocks which respect prop rotation.
- This is key for making models 'solid' - for example, ResurrectionChest places packet-based barrier blocks where the chest should be, making the model solid
- [New - Internal] Centralized all behavior in ModeledEntity, and broke it up into components for better readability and usability.
- All FMM entities can now have underlying entities, and those entities can be of any Minecraft entity type
- All FMM entities now share the same core components, standardizing behavior and clearing out the previous unnecessary complexity
- Core interaction behavior (left-clicking, right-clicking and entering entity hitboxes) is now purely callback-based
- Since this is shared by all entity types, all entity types can now have fully custom callbacks
- Since this system is used internally, behavior can automatically be overriden by other plugins without requiring turning other features off
- Since this system uses callbacks, any interaction can do virtually anything, or nothing at all. This is showcased by ResurrectionChest opening death chests in that plugin.
- [New] Moved common math operations to MagmaCore

FreeMinecraftModels 2.2.0:
- [New] Updated for Minecraft 1.21.6
- [EXPERIMENTAL] Experimental feature - add the ability to disable custom models to non-java clients, making the plugin show the underlying vanilla Minecraft entities
- [Fix] Fixed floodgate detection, clients getting packets via floodgate should now correctly be detected as bedrock clients (if the admins have correctly set their server up for floodgate API use in accordance to floodgate docs)
- [Fix] Fixed reported security issue with the logify command
- [Tweak] Lowered minimum forced view distance for custom models, fixing some lower end MC clients getting overwhelmed with packets in densely packed zones
- [Fix] Fixed warnings related to the logify command
- [Tweak] Improved ReadMe

FreeMinecraftModels 2.1.0:
- [New] Rewrote the animation system
- [New] Plugins can now mess with model scale through the API
- [New] Living entities disguised with custom models now tint red when dying, emit particles (imitating Minecraft) and also shrink down at the end to fade away. Red tint is currently not working for Minecraft 1.21.4+
- [New] Added API endpoints for interactions:
- DynamicEntityLeftClickEvent
- DynamicEntityRightClickEvent
- DynamicEntityHitboxContactEvent
- StaticEntityLeftClickEvent
- StaticEntityRightClickEvent
- StaticEntityHitboxContactEvent (entity must be set to tick collision checks)
- PropEntityLeftClickEvent
- PropEntityRightClickEvent
- PropEntityHitboxContactEvent (entity must be set to tick collision checks)
- ModeledEntityLeftClickEvent
- ModeledEntityRightClickEvent
- ModeledEntityHitboxContactEvent (entity must be set to tick collision checks is not dynamic)
- [New] Dynamic Entities now scale up with the scale attribute in the underlying vanilla minecraft boss
- [New] Custom hitboxes now scale correctly with the current scale setting of the underlying entity or with the scale setting set by other plugins (they do not scale based on animations)
- [Fix] Death animations should now play once more
- [Fix] Fixed entity desync when entities teleport
- [Fix] Fixed hitboxes being halfway buried into the floor
- [Fix] Heads now cause bodies to rotate in a way very similar to Minecraft's, avoiding the issue where heads would sometimes rotate up to 180 degrees away from the body
- [Optimization] Now avoiding recalculating hitboxes when possible
- [Optimization] Now only calculating packet-related math when necessary
- [Refactor] Remade shutdown sequence to systematize it and prevent memory leaks
- [Fix] Static entities can now be killed by punching them as intended
- [Fix] Fixed bug where projectiles would incorrectly remove models
- [Fix] Fixed problem where x and z axis sizes for hitboxes were flipped around
- [Tweak] Hitbox debug command now also shows underlying entity, if any
- [Tweak] Capped resync at 1 second, to avoid entities flickering too much while doing tricky behavior that can cause desyncs

Heads up: This is basically a massive rewrite of FMM with an absolute load of new features, optimizations and so on. There's so much I forgot to log a lot of it, but there are two things I want to mention first and foremost:
- /fmm spawn PROP <modelName> can now be used to permanently spawn a decoration for your server. This will be heavily expanded on soon
- A massive rewrite was done to massively optimize several aspects of the plugin. I am still working on this, but I am currently aiming to make it feasible for servers to be running with hundreds if not thousands of models active. Join the discord to give me feedback if you want to help!

FreeMinecraftModels 2.0.0:
- Added prop command & prop system
- Armor stands display rotations correctly
- Added scale to animations
- Updated for Minecraft 1.21.5
- Added a centralized ticking system for better performance
- Several improvements to the prop system, damage system and bounding box system
- A lot of optimizations around the watchers and animation system
- New correctly checking for remote updates
- Added new hitbox system which supports having x and z dimension be different for hitboxes, and increases accuracy as it supports hitboxes rotating when entities rotate (this is not something Minecraft can do) and can be toggled to do damage on contact
- Plugin is now more optimized around having significantly more entities

FreeMinecraftModels 1.6.0:
- [New] Improved commands
- [New] Added /logify command to allow admins to easily upload their latest log to maclo.gs

- Fixed problem with checking version on startup

FreeMinecraftModels 1.5.0:

- [New] Updated for Minecraft 1.21.4 & 1.21.3
- [New] Now using Minecraft 1.21.4's new resource pack structure which allows models to be set independent from vanilla items and not use numerical IDs, meaning there will no longer be any collisions between FMM models and any other plugins' custom data

FreeMinecraftModels 1.4.2:
- [New] Updated for Minecraft 1.21.1
- [New] Heads can now rotate individually. To tag a model head as a head, use "h_" at the start of the name

- [New] Added optional synchronization with ResourcePackManager, which automatically merges and hosts the resource packs when FMM modifies them, even if the modification is done while the server is live (due to importing new content), and automatically distributes up-to-date packs. Use of ResourcePackManager is VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
- [New] Added warning messages for rare cases where cubes have textures on some faces and not others, which breaks Minecraft
- [New] Now clearing outdated resource in the generated resource pack
- [New] Changed interpolation for animations, they should now feel smooth
- [New] Changed the file generation to prevent it from generating invalid resource packs.
- [New] Multiple textures can now share the same name without causing errors
- [Fix] Fixed issue which could cause models to tilt by default when created in specific ways
- [Fix] Fixed issue which could cause bones to not rotate correctly when not creating a root bone (root bone is now autogenerated)
- [Fix] Now handling locales with problematic diacritics correctly (such as turkish)
- [Fix] Fixed error in async task
