BAMO - Block And Move On

Description

BAMO is a Blockbench plugin/Minecraft mod combo that allows any user to turn their BB models into fully working Minecraft blocks without requiring them to write a single line of code.

Currently only supports Forge 1.16.5 and Fabric 1.20.1/1.18.2

 

BAMO can help you create:

• Custom 1x1 blocks with matching stairs, slabs, and walls
• Blocks and props using custom models of any size, with working hitboxes
• Blocks who's facing changes depending on which direction you place it
• Flowers

BAMO cannot create (yet):

• Custom entities
• "Functional" blocks such as doors, buttons, furnaces, and crafting tables
• Blocks with custom behavior
• Blocks that use less than a 1x1x1 cube (although the model/hitbox can be smaller)
• Variant blocks

How to Install

Minecraft Mod

1.  Install Forge/Fabric
2.  Install Kotlin for Forge/Fabric Language Kotlin
3.  Install BAMO by placing the relevant BAMO .jar file in your Minecraft mods directory
4.  Either run Minecraft once or create a folder named "bamopacks" in your Minecraft directory
5.  Place any existing BAMO model packs you have in the bamopacks folder
6.  Run Minecraft

 

Blockbench Plugin

1.  Download the BAMO.js file from the latest release of BAMO (currently waiting on acceptance into blockbench plugin store)
2.  Install the plugin in BB by navigating to File -> Plugins and clicking Load Plugin From File at the top of the Plugins window. Then select the BAMO.js file you downloaded
3.  Navigate to your Minecraft folder (the one that contains your mods/resourcepacks/bamopacks folders) and copy the folder path from the navigation window
4.  Navigate to File -> Preferences -> Settings, click the "Export" tab, scroll to the bottom, and paste your Minecraft folder location into the provided textbox
5. ENSURE YOU CREATE A BAMO BLOCK PROJECT OR THE BAMO PROPERTIES WILL NOT BE SAVED
6.  Export your model by clicking Tools -> BAMO Exporter

 

How to Use

Minecraft Mod

• Exported models will automatically be placed in a .zip file inside the bamopacks folder. Simply restart Minecraft to load any new blocks.
• Changes to models/textures can be seen ingame by exporting the model and reloading Minecraft's resource packs (F3+T). This allows for changes to the model/texture to be quickly prototyped. Changes to any other settings in the exporter will only apply after restarting Minecraft

 

Blockbench Plugin

• Settings are preserved in the exporter until Blockbench is closed. Please ensure that you have the correct settings chosen before exporting a model
• The exporter uses the display name to generate the new model's .zip file. Any existing model with the same name will be overwritten
• "Export" can be clicked on any export tab, with all properties defaulting to the values for a dirt block

 

Known Issues

• Hitboxes for models with rotated cubes do not match the cube positions. This is due to hitboxes being axis aligned and there's no easy way to resolve this
