by ElGatoPro300

BBS CML is a fork of the BBS animation mod for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with a rebuilt film editor and interface for animators and video makers.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient required, server optionalMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1 – 26.1.2

What it does

The fork keeps the original BBS tools for animation work and reshapes them around a different plan: a film editor whose design was revamped, an interface rebuilt to show small visual previews of models, and a layout that players can adjust to their own workflow. Categories can be hidden when they are not needed, and grid or mosaic arrangements are available for the clip views.

Feature support covers camera effect clips, hotbar clips, a PBR controller, live mirror bones, native structure form and shape form. The mod has an addon system, and extensions written for this fork, such as AAAddon, Photon Addon and FBX Addon, plug into it. Two catalog mods, CNPCs BBS Addon and BBS Photon Addon, require BBS CML.

The client needs the mod, while the server can run without it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, covering game versions 1.20.1 – 26.1.2 across 8 release versions. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source code is public. First published 2025-11-26, last updated 2026-10-10.

Key features

  1. Camera effect clips

    Clips that apply camera effects can be placed in a film, adding movement and framing without leaving the editor.

  2. Hotbar clips

    Clips can be bound to the hotbar, so frequently used sequences are one key press away during a session.

  3. Grid and mosaic layouts

    Clip views can be arranged as grids or mosaics to compare several takes or scenes at once.

  4. Customizable interface

    Panels can be rearranged and categories hidden, so the editor shows only the tools a given workflow needs.
