A tool to simplify importing custom assets in Minecraft
Currently only allows you to quickly prototype models in-game, but further functionality is coming
I would HIGHLY recommend you backup up any model files before attempting to use this plugin/mod
- Navigate to the Releases page and find the latest (topmost) release of BAMO
- Download the BAMO.jar mod file and move it to the mods folder in your minecraft directory
- Download Kotlin for Forge 1.16.0 and move it to the same directory
- Download the BAMO.js plugin file
- Open Blockbench, click File -> Plugins -> Load Plugins from File
- Select the BAMO.js file you just downloaded
- Click File -> Preferences -> Settings -> Export and add the location of the minecraft directory to the text box under "Minecraft Folder Location"
- Make sure the file you're working on is the BAMO format and saved and click Tools -> BAMO Export
- Input the name you want to give your block". PLEASE NOTE THIS NAME MUST BE UNIQUE AND WILL OVERRIDE ANY EXISTING EXPORTED FILES OF THE SAME NAME IN YOUR TEST PACK
** This is the only required step to export a block. Clicking the export button at any point from this step onwards will export a block with the previously input settings (their default values if not set). This means that once you've set the export properties once for a file, you can simply press the export button without having to set them again for that file. This works until you load another file, move to another file's tab or close Blockbench **
- Select the type of block you want to make"
- Custom Blocks can be any shape and texture combination
- Standard Blocks are 1x1 cubes with identical textures on all faces. These can be used to make stairs, walls, and slabs
