Model Engine

[grizzled orbit]

I had a bbmodel for my model but it got deleted I have the json files of it can I still run it without the bbmodel pls help

[onyx valley]

no

the .json files are just the parts of the model, they don't include any animation information or how that part was rotated in the overall model etc.

you can check for automatic backups, but that's about it

🖥️ The Desktop version of Blockbench (by default) creates backups of your projects every 10 minutes.
To access them either right click the bar at the bottom or go into the Help tab/menu and then click "Open Backup Folder".
PS: The interval and how long old backups are kept can be defined in the Blockbench settings (File > Preference > Settings > Application).
📱 The mobile/web version (and the desktop app) saves a backup if the model wasn't saved properly. You can access the backup on the start screen after reopening the app. But it is only available once after reopening, and only saves the most recently opened tab.

I checked I don't have the bbmodel

model engine im assuming u are referring to the plugin isnt an official blockbench thing

u should use their discord if u want to receive help for something specific

their plugin just requires u to place the bb file into the blueprint folder it generates

[grizzled orbit]

can I just copy paste them together does that work?

Is the position included?

I didn't rotate in the original model

[onyx valley]

probably not

All that model engine does is convert every bone/group/folder of your bbmodel to separate item models, that each get put on their own armor stand. So they will be repositioned in the .json so that the pivot point of the bone is the same as the pivot point of the head of the armor stand.
