⚡ What is BetterModel?

---

---

BetterModel is a plugin-based engine that provide runtime BlockBench model rendering & animating for Minecraft Java Edition.

It implements fully server-side 3D model by using an item display entity packet.

• Importing Generic BlockBench model .bbmodel
• Auto-generating resource pack
• Playing animation
• Syncing with base entity
• Custom hit box
• Supports 12-limb player animation

🔥 Why do I create BetterModel even though ModelEngine already exists?

The main reason I created it is:

• To reduce network cost—MEG’s network optimization is outdated and insufficient for modern servers.
• To enable faster updates—We can’t afford to wait for MEG’s slow update cycle anymore.
• To provide a more flexible API—MEG is closed-source with a very limited API, which makes extending or integrating difficult.
• To restore vanilla behavior-MEG breaks several vanilla entity features and physics, which this project aims to fix.

Also, you can refer my document to compare both ModelEngine and BetterModel.
