Break this bone! (BTB)
Ever played an Emotecraft emote and watched your Figura avatar's arm stay perfectly straight while your skin bends at the elbow? Or seen your sleeves poke out and your pants float away while your character leans forward? BTB fixes that.
Emotecraft doesn't just rotate your limbs. It bends them at the elbows, knees and waist, and tilts the upper body along with your head and arms. Mods that draw their own models on top of the player never got those bends, so their limbs looked broken during emotes. BTB passes the bends on to them.
Supported mods
| Mod | What bends |
|---|---|
| Figura | Avatar arms, legs and torso bend like the vanilla skin. The head and arms follow the torso tilt, and items held through item pivots move with the hand. |
| Weaver's Paradise | Shirts, sweaters and other tops (torso and sleeves), pants, thigh-highs, hand warmers and gloves. Skirts and pants no longer fly off with the chest tilt, and clothing in Curios slots behaves like clothing in regular slots. |
Every supported mod is optional
BTB only turns on the parts for mods that are actually in your pack. Figura without Weaver's Paradise, Weaver's Paradise without Figura, both, or neither: it just works, with no "missing mod" errors.
Requirements
- NeoForge for Minecraft 1.21.1
- Emotecraft 2.4.x, which already includes playerAnimator and bendy-lib. Without it BTB has nothing to bend, but it won't break anything either.
Client-side only
You don't need BTB on the server. Other players don't need it for you to see them bent correctly; everyone who has BTB installed sees bent avatars and clothing on their own screen.
Good to know
- Figura avatars bend at the same spot as the vanilla model: the elbow is 6 px below the shoulder pivot, and the knee is in the middle of the leg. If an avatar's arm pivot isn't on the shoulder, the elbow will be offset.
- Arms don't bend in first person, because Emotecraft resets bends there too.
- Figura render tasks from Lua scripts (text, blocks, items) on regular parts aren't bent.

Don't be shy, leave a comment! Tell me which mod should get compatibility next: another clothing, armor or player-model mod, anything that stays stiff while you emote. Bug reports and screenshots of weird bends are welcome too. Every request gets read.
