BetterModel

📚 Notices

With the official release of Minecraft 26.1, BetterModel has decided to deploy a major version update to 3.0.0.
As with 2.0.0, there are several Breaking Changes, so please take note when using it.

✨ Feats

Minecraft 26.1.x Support

From now on, BetterModel supports running on Minecraft 26.1.x Servers.

Mesh Element Support (Experiment)

We now support client resource pack conversion for Mesh Elements from BlockBench.
It is available on Minecraft clients version 26.1 and above.

Others

• Support meg-client-mod.
• A priority property has been added to the AnimationModifier class, allowing you to adjust the application order of animations.
• perf: minor optimization for some method
• refactor: remove unused code

🚀 Breaking Changes

Java 25 Usage

BetterModel is now built in a Java 25 environment, and therefore the required Java version to run it on a server has also been increased to 25.

Deobfuscation Porting

As obfuscation has been removed from the Minecraft jar starting from 26.1, tooling for mod platforms—which are most affected by mappings—has been changed.

• bettermodel-fabric: Starting from 3.0.0, this is separated from the mod platform's API, bettermodel-mod-api.

// Use the following dependency when referencing only the API.
// There is no need to use a separate remap configuration such as modCompileOnly.
dependencies {
    compileOnly("io.github.toxicity188:bettermodel-mod-api:3.0.0")
}

// Use this when importing all Fabric platform modules to automate test servers, etc.
// There is no need to use a separate remap configuration such as modApi.
dependencies {
    api("io.github.toxicity188:bettermodel-fabric:3.0.0")
}

Deprecation of 1.21.3 Support

To keep the project lightweight, support for versions 1.21.3 and below will be discontinued. Therefore, operation is only guaranteed on servers and clients version 1.21.4 or higher.
