BBS Server Sync Addon
by bay4lly
With BBS Server Sync Addon installed, a server can hand its BBS custom content, such as skins, models and sound files, to players as they join.
What it does
When a player joins a server that runs the addon, the BBS assets the server holds are sent to the client automatically, so no manual file transfers are needed. Updates to server assets are picked up the same way. Models added after players have joined are loaded with the bbs model reload command.
The addon requires the BBS mod, and its content syncing covers skins, models and sound files, staying compatible with BBS itself. It is meant for server administrators who want custom BBS content on their server without sending files to each player by hand. Because it runs on both sides, the server and every player need it.
Builds exist for Fabric and Forge, with the 1.0 release for 1.20.4 as the latest file. The addon is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Automatic content delivery
Players receive the server's BBS content on joining, so there is no separate file transfer step.
Skin and model sync
Skins and models stored on the server are distributed to every player who connects.
Sound file sync
Sound files used by BBS content are synchronized along with skins and models.
Live model reload
Models added after players have joined can be loaded with the bbs model reload command.

Use cases
Community servers
A server with a shared set of skins and models can give every player the same content as soon as they connect.
Who it’s for: Server administrators who run BBS content on a multiplayer server, and players who join those servers and need the matching files.
How it compares
BBS Together is a Fabric and Forge addon under the MIT License, but it is not open source, and either side can run it. BBS Synchronized is open source under the MIT License, covers Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, and is client and server. BBS Structure Addon is Fabric only, open source and client and server.
