Getting started

Introduction

Since version 1.19.4, Minecraft Java has introduced Block Display, Item Display and Text Display. These are entities that allow you to display everything that already exists in the game. This allows you to model from all the blocks and items you know.

What is BDEngine?

It is an online editor that allows you to model and animate from Display entities. The special feature is that you do not need to use any resourcepack or modifications. Everything runs on vanilla Minecraft and any user will be able to see your model, whether it's a multiplayer world or an entire server!

What are Custom Heads?

Custom Heads is a head created with Item Display. Thanks to the ability to specify any skin - you get the opportunity to create complex models with unique texture.

How animations work

Data Merge commands are used to make animations work. After exporting an animation, you get a datapack for your world, as well as a list of commands-functions:

• Spawn model

• Start animation

• Start looped animation

• Stop animation loop

• Delete model

These command-functions you can use in the chat field or command blocks, to control your animation.
