Quick answer

Game version 1.20.4, 1.20.5, 1.20.6
Loader Forge, NeoForge

Where it goes

Is BBS Player required on the client, server, or both?

Installation on the client is optional. Installation on the dedicated server is optional.

Client Optional
Dedicated server Optional
Loader for this release Forge, NeoForge
Required install it here Optional supported, not mandatory Not supported do not install here Source doesn’t say do not assume

The source marks this as usable on both the client and server.

What else does BBS Player 1.7.7-1.20.4 need?

1.7.7-1.20.4. Change the file and its required mods may change too.

1 required mod needs a matching file

Install Sinytra Connector first, but 1 required mod has no matching file for this setup. Do not mix loader builds to force a match.

We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.

Before you install it

Add BBS Player without breaking your instance.

About this project

What does BBS Player add?

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)

Changes from Original BBS Mod

Disabled Features:

  • Dashboard UI: The main editing interface has been disabled (no keybind to open)
  • Morphing Menu: Morphing editor and morph selection UI disabled
  • Recording: Replay recording and video recording features disabled
  • Replay Editor: Cannot edit, create, or modify replays
  • Item Editor: Model block and gun item editors disabled
  • Teleport Functions: Teleport-to-actor functions disabled
  • Gun Zoom: Gun zoom mechanics disabled
  • Editing Commands: Most server commands disabled (morph, config, cheats, etc.)

Enabled Features:

  • Film Playback: Full playback of films/animations created with the original mod
  • Play/Pause Controls: Keyboard shortcuts for playing and pausing films
  • Film Commands: /bbs films play and /bbs films stop commands (requires OP)
  • All Rendering: Complete rendering capabilities for viewing content
  • Model Loading: Full support for loading and displaying models, textures, and animations

In order to make/edit a film you'll need to use the original BBS mod and then run the client with this mod.

Command Usage

All commands now require operator permissions (level 2):

/bbs films play <target> <film> [camera]
/bbs films stop <target> <film>

Examples:

/bbs films play @a my_animation true    - Plays "my_animation" to all players with camera
/bbs films stop @a my_animation         - Stops the animation

Keybinds

All keybinds have been disabled. Films can only be controlled via server commands by operators.

No keyboard shortcuts are available in this player-only version.


Original BBS Mod Information

BBS mod is a Minecraft mod for Fabric 1.20.4 and 1.20.1 (works on Forge as well) for creating animations within Minecraft. It has more features than that, but overall its main task is to facilitate making animated content within Minecraft. For more information, see BBS mod's Modrinth or CurseForge pages.

This mod is under the MIT license.
