About this project
What does BBS mod add?

CurseForge – Modrinth – Wiki
BBS mod is the content creator's Minecraft mod. It allows content creators create animations, roleplays, and machinimas within Minecraft! However, BBS mod's strongest point is creating animations. BBS 2 and newer are based on BBS mod's fork, BBS FS by Wemppy.
It's runs on Fabric 1.20.4, 1.20.1, and 1.21.1. However, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 builds can be run on Forge and NeoForge (respectively) with Sinytra Connector mod.
Disclaimer: versions 2.0 and above are primarily developed with LLMs.
Installing
To install BBS mod, you need Fabric and Fabric API. Put Fabric API and BBS mod into your mods folder, and that should do it!
Installing on (Neo)Forge
Thanks to Sinytra Connector mod, it's possible to use BBS mod's 1.20.1 build on Forge or 1.21.1 build on NeoForge! Install Sinytra Connector, its complementary mods and it should run! Don't expect Optifine to work with BBS mod! Use Sodium and Iris corresponding port mods.
Tutorials
Beside tutorial on the top of the page, there is an older tutorial for BBS 1.7.7, which still contains a lot of relevant information (the user interface is a bit different though).
