BBS Light Form Addon

by bay4lly

BBS Light Form Addon lets models built with the BBS Mod emit vanilla Minecraft light levels, so a form can glow in the world.

FabricClient and serverApache License 2.01.20.1 – 1.20.4

What it does

Models made in the BBS Mod can be set to emit light at any level from 0 to 15, using the same scale as vanilla Minecraft light intensity. A light form placed in a world then brightens the area around it, and the level can change while a replay plays, so a glow can fade or pulse along a moving path.

The addon is meant for the BBS Mod's model and replay workflow rather than for standalone blocks. The author recommends pairing it with a shader so the lighting shows clearly.

Files are published for Fabric only, in two game versions, 1.20.1 and 1.20.4. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. It is released under the Apache License 2.0, and the code is not open source.

Key features

  1. Light levels from 0 to 15

    A model's light output can be set anywhere on the vanilla 0 to 15 scale, so dim and bright glows are both possible.

  2. Light during replays

    Light levels morph smoothly between keyframes, so a glowing form keeps its light as it moves through a replay.

  3. Light forms for BBS models

    Any model block created in the BBS Mod can be converted into a light-emitting form.

  4. Preview builds

    The current 1.0-rc2 build is a preview that fixes some bugs from earlier releases, and bug reports are taken through the author's channel.

Use cases

Lit scenes in animations

Creators can light a scene from a model, such as a lamp or a creature, and move the light as the camera moves.

Glowing props on servers

Server owners running BBS content can add glowing forms to a shared world for players to see in replays.

Who it’s for: Players and creators who already use the BBS Mod for model animation and want light sources in those models. It suits people who build replays inside a world, and it needs the BBS mod installed before it does anything.
