BetterModel

Modern lightweight Minecraft model implementation for Bukkit, Folia

This plugin implements server-side model by using packet-based item display.

• Importing .bbmodel
• Resource pack auto-generation
• Multiple hit-box

Why I created BetterModel even though ModelEngine already exists?

The main reason I created it is:

• To reduce traffic - MEG uses too many packet, making significant network issue.
• To provide faster update - MEG's update is too slow.
• To provide more flexible API - MEG is a closed-source plugin and API is very limited.

Summary

This plugin, of course, implements generic block bench model with animation.

This plugin can track entity's movement and head rotation.

Network optimization

This plugin can optimize network by sight-trace. It won't send packets when the player's not looking.

Multiple hit-box

This plugin provides multiple hit-box both client and server. (tracking animation rotation)

MythicMobs support (experimental)

Like MEG, This plugin implements simple MythicMobs support.
