BBS Renewed

BBS Renewed is a fork of BBS FS and the BBS CML edition, which are themselves forks of McHorse's BBS mod — a mod for creating animations and machinima inside Minecraft. It runs on Fabric 26.3 and needs Fabric API.

What sets BBS Renewed apart is its focus on looks and usability: a completely redrawn interface and a Blender-like workflow, so you spend your time on the film instead of on the tool.

Features

• A new interface: crisp vector-drawn panels and over 200 icons instead of pixel textures, a Blender-style sidebar and a dockable undo history
• Blender-style viewport: move, rotate and scale like in Blender, axis lines, outline on the selected actor, motion paths and a bone overlay
• Timeline and dope sheet: markers, clips you can hide or disable, camera clips right in the replay editor
• Export: supersampling (1–4×) and optional one-WAV-per-clip audio export
• Faster editor: from 3 to 43 frames per second in our measurement
• Keybinds: a second binding for every action and mouse buttons 4 and 5

Control rigs and IK are not included in this version — they return in a later update.
