Hello, is it possible to export my project in the old json format, not the new one? (i want the long one) Or do I have to get old blockbench version to do that? My plugins are not compatible with the new format. Thanks

are you talking about .bbmodel or about actual .json?

In 4.0.3 .json export format was changed

#

I need the old one

wind thunder
#

What changed?
The only big difference I know of is that in 1.21.6 in Minecraft it allows more rotation values than before.
Which you can control in Blockbench via the project format value in File > Project...

#

though the only thing that it does is limit rotations. The .json format itself has not changed for Minecraft at all since it was added (besides minor adjustments like that or optional additions )

#

So if you mean a different change I'd need to see a comparison of what change you mean.

Here's an example:

#

The new format:

#

Here's the old one:

wind thunder
#

looks the same to me except that one specifies a "format_version" value and that one has different spacing
(both of which do not matter for .json to be valid/readable)

cobalt shell
#

The new spacing comes up as an error in the plugin I'm using

I downloaded and reinstalled blockbench to 4.2.5, exported the same file I did in new version and it works

wind thunder
#

And if your plugin is detecting spacing then it's doing something wrong

#

this aint python code, spacing doesn't matter in .json

cobalt shell
#

I have no say over that

wind thunder
#

which plugin?

cobalt shell
#

itemsAdder i think?

#

Not quite sure

wind thunder
#

can you ask the employer for the plugin and the exact error they get?

cobalt shell
#

Yeah it would take some time for him to respond

wind thunder
cobalt shell
#

I just know it comes up as a purple/black block

wind thunder
#

cause spaces are not allowed in file/folder names or texture paths etc.

wind thunder

#

Oh I see

wind thunder
#

Also, if you are making models for a version before 1.21.6 change the format version in File > Project... to 1.9-1.21.5
Else you can easily accidentaly use rotation values that aren't allowed before 1.21.6

cobalt shell
#

Where exactly?

wind thunder
#

in current versions of Blockbench, not in old versions
