BBS Synchronized
by imFanyel
BBS Synchronized keeps the 3D models stored in a server's BBS folder matched across the server and every connected client.
What it does
The add-on is aimed at the gap between a server and its clients when custom server-sided BBS models are involved. It syncs those models automatically with players when they connect, so server owners no longer need to hand out model files by hand. It works in the background as models are loaded.
Server administrators can change files on the server side and push a refresh to online players with a short command. The mod is a small addon to BBS Primarily and can be paired with BBS FS. Client and server both need it, and Fabric API is required. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Asset syncing
Models in the server's BBS folder are kept identical across the server and every connected client.
Background fetch on join
Models are fetched automatically in the background when a player connects, before they are needed in the game.
Instant reloading
Changes made to server-side files can be pushed to online players at once through a short command.
Cross-loader support
Fabric builds are published for three game versions, and Forge and NeoForge run through Sinytra Connector.

Use cases
Server-hosted model packs
Server owners who ship custom BBS models can update them in one place without sending files to each player.
Live asset editing
An administrator can change a model on the server and have connected players see the new version without rejoining.
Who it’s for: Server administrators who run BBS models on a multiplayer server, and players who join those servers and need the same models as the host.
How it compares
