AzureLib is an advanced animation engine designed to empower Minecraft mod developers by allowing them to create custom models and animations for various in-game elements. It addresses the limitations of vanilla Minecraft's model and animation systems by providing a robust framework that leverages Bedrock models. This enables a significantly higher level of visual customization and dynamic behavior for items, blocks, and entities, breathing new life into player-created content and offering a more engaging experience for players who appreciate detailed and unique game worlds. The mod's core purpose is to facilitate the creation of visually rich and complex mods that would otherwise be impossible to achieve. This powerful mod operates by integrating a sophisticated animation system directly into Minecraft. It supports intricate 3D keyframe-driven animations, providing developers with granular control over every aspect of an entity's or item's movement and appearance. Furthermore, AzureLib offers over 30 different easing functions to ensure smooth and natural transitions between animations, along with the capability for concurrent animation playback. Developers can also implement sound and particle effects, as well as event-based keyframes, to synchronize visual actions with auditory cues and gameplay events, creating a more immersive and interactive experience for players. The underlying technology allows for the seamless integration of custom models and animations without compromising game performance. AzureLib is designed for broad compatibility across multiple Minecraft versions and loaders. It officially supports Minecraft versions from 1.20.2-rc1 up to 1.21.1, including specific releases like 1.20.2, 1.20.3, 1.20.4, 1.20.5, 1.20.6, and 1.21. The mod is compatible with the Fabric, Forge, NeoForged, and Quilt mod loaders, ensuring that a wide range of players can utilize it. Importantly, AzureLib is required on both the client and server sides of your Minecraft installation. This means that both players connecting to a server and the server itself must have AzureLib installed for custom models and animations to function correctly and be displayed as intended. To install AzureLib, you will need to place the mod file into the appropriate mods folder for your chosen mod loader. For Fabric, Quilt, and NeoForged, this typically involves placing the `.jar` file into the `mods` directory within your Minecraft installation. For Forge, the process is similar, with the file going into the `mods` folder. Before launching the game, it is crucial to ensure that you have the correct version of AzureLib installed that matches your Minecraft version and your chosen mod loader. Additionally, verify that all other required mods or libraries, if any are specified by the mod's documentation, are also present and correctly installed to prevent any conflicts or errors.
