This [Figura](\/mod\/figura) addon adds compatibility with Blockbench 5.0’s updated model format. (and a few other nice things, too!)<\/p>\n
These changes will mostly likely be included as part of the next major Figura update, as part of PR #448. That might take a while to release; this addon serves as an interim solution.<\/p>\n
The code in this addon is the same as in the aformentioned pull request, along with a mixin to integrate the new code.<\/p>\n
## Features!
\n– Support for 5.0 model files (the main reason you’re here)
\n– Better error messages for animation keyframes (these are tied pretty closely into the importing process)
\n– A fix for `require` that caused it to not work on Windows if the “name” of the code calling it has characters that would be illegal if used in the filesystem (notably, `?` is used in the improved animation keyframe changes)<\/p>\n
## About 1.16.5
\nI don’t really want to do the refactoring work to make the code work with Java 8 for this addon; it’ll happen for Figura eventually, but unfortuately that means you can’t use this addon on 1.16.5 (which uses Java 8.)<\/p>\n
## Do I need this?
\n> for all users
\n– You **need to keep this addon installed** to continue to load models from the filesystem created with Blockbench 5.0.0 or later.
\n– You **do not need this addon** to load avatars uploaded by other people with this addon.
\n– You **do not need this addon** to load avatars that have been uploaded to the cloud by you using this addon in another instance (it only impacts compiling local avatars)
\n– You **might need this addon** to use an avatar you downloaded from the internet. This is usually indicated if loading fails with a message like `Cannot invoke “…” because the return value of “…” is null`, but there are other reasons that error could appear as well.<\/p>\n
## Do other people need this?
\n– See point 2 above, and the section below.
\n– **No** if you’re just uploading your avatar to the Figura cloud.
\n– **Yes** if you’re sharing the avatar with other people as e.g. a `.zip` file.<\/p>\n
## Mind the gap
\n> for avatar creators
\n– If you’re sharing avatars you created, please either **stick to 4.12 for now**, or **make it very obvious that this addon is required**. This will hopefully prevent confusion from your users if they try to load your avatar and it doesn’t work.<\/p>\n
## Modpacks?
\nOf course! (also it’s MIT licensed, you don’t need my permission for this)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
