Overview​

SkBetterModels 0.1.1-alpha is a major improvement release focused on expanding BetterModel support in Skript, improving animation controls, and fixing several compatibility and runtime issues.

Improvements​

Advanced BetterModel Animation Playback​

Added advanced animation playback support with configurable:

  • Animation speed
  • Start and end frame ranges
  • Override behaviour
  • Play-once animation mode
  • Specific affected bones
Example:

play bettermodel animation {_animation} for {_tracker} with speed 1.5 from 0 to 20 with override true as "play once" on bones {_boneName}

BetterModel Body Rotation​

Improved body-rotation handling with support for multiple rotation behaviours and timing options.

BetterModel Tracker Support​

Expanded tracker functionality and improved support for working with BetterModel entity and dummy trackers directly from Skript.

Bone Support​

Improved per-bone animation handling, including the ability to target individual bones by name.

Event API​

Added BetterModel event integrations for tracker creation, tracker visibility, model spawning, model despawning, animation playback, hitbox interactions, and animation signals.

Tint Support​

Fixed model tint colour handling for Skript 2.16.1 by correctly converting Skript's ColorRGB values into the packed RGB format required by BetterModel.

Bug Fixes​

  • Fixed a body-rotation parser issue caused by multiple effect registrations.
  • Fixed BetterModel animation section initialisation errors.
  • Fixed bone animation updates using unsupported tracker methods.
  • Fixed Skript colour handling in set tint of model.
  • Improved compatibility with Skript 2.16.1 and BetterModel 3.x.
  • Reduced runtime errors caused by invalid tracker or animation states.

Compatibility​

Tested against:

  • Paper 1.21.11
  • Minecraft 1.21.11
  • Skript 2.16.1
  • BetterModel 3.4.1
  • Java 25

Known Issues​

Some BetterModel event values are still being refined in the current alpha release, including several tracker-related event values and the animation-signal event value.

The model ... has passenger condition also requires further parser work.

These limitations are expected to be addressed in a future release.

Release Status​

0.1.1-alpha

This release significantly expands the addon compared with earlier builds, but it remains an alpha release while the remaining event-value and parser issues are being finalised.

Important​

This version is suitable for testing and development. Production servers should use caution until the remaining alpha issues have been resolved.
