craftstudio2entity

Converts CraftStudio .csjsmodel files into Minecraft Bedrock Edition entity geometry files.

Installation

This software has been developed using C++11.

To compile it from source, you require CMake. Simply enter the repository folder and run cmake .. This will generate the necessary Makefile or the equivalent on Windows or MacOS. On Linux systems, run make and the binary will be found in the bin/ directory.

Usage

./craftstudio2entity <csjsmodel path> <entity path> [flags]

• csjsmodel path - (input) the CraftStudio JSON input file
• entity path - (output) the Minecraft Bedrock Edition entity model
• flags - r for "replace" (only flag right now)

Conversion Specifics

The name of the model in CraftStudio becomes the name of the geometry in the output entity.

All hierarchies of blocks in CraftStudio as well as rotations, pivots and positionts are preserved 100%. Every block becomes exactly one bone in an entity. However, child blocks that have no rotations are simply become additional cubes of their parent bone.

CraftStudio Input

Entity Output (visualized using Blockbench)

NOTE: to open an entity file in Blockbench, the name of the geometry must begin with geometry..

UV is only preserved for "Full" UV in BlockBench but all textures are assumed to have a constant 128x128 size. Automatic adjustment of texture dimensions may be added in the future.
