Showbiz

by FlooferLand

Showbiz, an animatronic show simulator, lets players watch and run a band of singing animatronics in their own builds, including shows staged in a bedroom world with friends.

What it does

Showbiz is built around the Rock-afire Explosion, an animatronic band that once played a restaurant in the 1980s. The simulator plays back complete shows through its RR Engine, and its files cover several show formats, so a stage can be run from stored performances. Redstone can drive the stage through a bit-based interface, and optional computer integration lets computers control the show.

The mod is extended by addons. A resource pack and a data pack together can add new animatronics, characters, shows and even costumes for existing ones, and the Wolf Pack 5 addon system lets creators add their own bots. Several addons add material from other franchises, and the project maintains a dedicated wiki for anyone starting addon work. Showbiz works with multiplayer, and a browser build supports video tags. The server and every player need the mod installed.

Installation needs Fabric API, Fabric Language Kotlin, Forgified Fabric API, Geckolib and Sinytra Connector. Mod Menu and Veil are optional. Showbiz is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, with source code, an issue tracker and a wiki published. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.1, with the 0.5.3-alpha+1.21.1 build on the alpha channel.

Questions

Does Showbiz need Fabric API on NeoForge?

Fabric API is listed as required for the Fabric build. Showbiz also needs Forgified Fabric API and Sinytra Connector to run on NeoForge alongside the other required dependencies.

Does a server need Showbiz installed?

Yes. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.

How are new animatronics added?

Creators build a resource pack and a data pack that define the new animatronic, then install them with Showbiz. The wiki covers the addon creation steps.
