How do I install BBS mod on Forge?

Check out this mini-guide on how to install BBS mod on Forge.

Does BBS mod needs other mods?

On Fabric, you just need Fabric API mod. On Forge, you need all of the 3 Sinytra Connector mods (see installation above).

How do I make certain parts of texture glow?

Without shaders? It's not possible, but with shaders, you can make certain part of a texture glow by creating a specular texture. For more details, watch this excerpt.

There is some issue with preview, how can I fix it?

It must be mod incompatibility issue (you have a mod that breaks that feature). I suggest looking at the known list of incompatible mods first, and, if it doesn't help, then try 50/50 approach:

Move half of the mods out of the mods/ folder. If it still causes an issue, remove another half, and repeat. If the issue was fixed, move back half of the mods that you moved out, and repeat until you find the mod causing the issue.

I don't have pose keyframe track, then how can I animate mobs?

pose keyframe track is only available for bbs:model forms, and not for bbs:mob forms. If you'd like to animate vanilla mobs, you can install this model pack by @pixe_gum (invite link to Discord server).

There are invisible faces on my model (I can't see faces from both sides), how to fix it?

You need to disable culling for the model. Create a new file called config.json, and fill it with following text:

{
    "culling": false
}

Save it, and it should instantly show the back sides. If you already have a config.json, then change "culling": true to "culling": false or add ,"culling": false before last } in the file.

After 1.2.7, my .obj models no longer load... what can I do to fix them?

Due to .mtl baking feature in that update, all you need to do is to remove .mtl file and the model will work again!

I really liked 3D Emoticons variants, but they are not present in BBS mod... how can I get them?

Download this .zip file, and place all folders within it into .minecraft/config/bbs/assets/models/emoticons/, and you'll get them to work!

How do I setup ffmpeg?

For video recording, media conversion (via file drag-and-dropping) and downloading by URL, you need ffmpeg to be installed. ffmpeg is a program that makes it so much easier to handle different media formats.

Step-by-step written tutorial

  1. Download ffmpeg binaries: https://ffmpeg.org/download.html (for Windows direct link: https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/ffmpeg-release-essentials.7z).
  2. Unzip, via WinRaR or 7z, it someplace on your computer. Recommended place: the root of disk C, i.e. C:\.
  3. Enter the ffmpeg folder you just extracted in Windows Explorer, and go to folder bin.
  4. Click on the address bar, and copy the path. It should be something like: C:\ffmpeg-7.1-essentials\bin.
  5. In BBS mod, click on the bottom left icon that says settings, and scroll down until you see Video capturing.
  6. In the field that has ffmpeg, paste the path, and add \ffmpeg.exe (mind the \ in front). In result, it should be something like C:\ffmpeg-7.1-essentials\bin\ffmpeg.exe.

This is it! Congratulations! ffmpeg is configured!
