BBS Player
by Miguelki
BBS Player lets players watch finished films made with the BBS Mod, with editing, morphing, gun zoom and server commands turned off.
What it does
The mod is a reduced build of the original BBS Mod that focuses only on playback of films and animations created with that mod. Players watch movies through the bbs command, which requires operator privileges, so the cinematic content is shown without giving players the ability to alter scenes. It is meant for maps and events where the author does not want players to reach the cinematic editors or morph functions.
Players need the mod on the client, while the server may skip it. Files target Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 15 release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.11, and the code is open source under the MIT License. Fabric builds need Fabric API, and Sinytra Connector is required as well. Commands require operator permission level 2. Recommended pairing: the BBS Player Plugin for servers that want their own films on a vanilla server.
