DisplayEntityUtils

DisplayEntityUtils is a extensive plugin designed for use with BDEngine, a modeling/animation engine designed for display entities without the need for resource packs or mods.

What you'll need: BDEngine

BDEngine is what you'll use to create models and animations that can be transferred into your game world. Info on BDEngine and the BDCatalog, collection of BDEngine models and animations, can be found HERE

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN BDENGINE! ALL ISSUES AND SUGGESTIONS RELATED TO THAT PROJECT SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO THE OWNER, ILLYSTRAY, IN THE BDENGINE DISCORD FOUND HERE

What can DisplayEntityUtils do?

Manipulate Groups (BDEngine Models)
Manipulate every part (Display Entity) within a model
Manipulate Interaction Entities
Include Interaction Entities as part of groups
Execute commands through Interaction Entities
Create Animations through the plugin
Convert Animations from BDEngine (preferred over creating in-game)
Retrieve models from BDEngine and spawn them in-game

And so much more!

What can it do for developers?

Tools to manipulate Display and Interaction entity as individual entities
Show/Hide groups to/from certain players
