NeoCraft Core 1.2.3 — Figura Offline Bridge

NeoCraft Core 1.2.3 introduces an experimental server-based bridge for synchronizing Figura avatars, including on Minecraft servers running in offline mode.

Added

• Optional integration with figura-0.1.6+1.21.1-neoforge-mc.jar.
• Server-based synchronization of local Figura avatars.
• Persistent avatar storage associated with each player's server UUID.
• Automatic avatar distribution to connected players.
• Automatic synchronization when a player:
  • Equips a local Figura avatar.
  • Changes or reloads the equipped avatar.
  • Unequips the current avatar.
  • Reconnects to the server.
• Automatic restoration of previously synchronized avatars after a server restart.
• Client-side recovery when Figura clears a synchronized remote avatar.
• A 256 KiB limit per avatar to reduce network usage, excessive storage and potential abuse.

How the Figura Bridge Works

When a player equips a local Figura avatar, NeoCraft Core automatically detects it and sends its data to the Minecraft server.

The server then:

1. Associates the avatar with the player's server UUID.
2. Stores the avatar inside the world data.
3. Sends the avatar to every connected player.
4. Restores stored avatars when players reconnect.

The bridge does not depend on Figura's official cloud service. Players do not need to upload their avatars to the official Figura backend.

Saved avatar data is stored automatically in:
