Starting a new setup and looking for the current release?
Go to BBS Mod Download →BBS Mod 2.3.3
Fixes for recording overlays and several model-rendering problems, with additional keyframe editing controls.
BBS Mod 2.3.2
Virtual-keyframe timing changes, with fixes for trackpad wrapping, semi-transparent billboards and a morphing-menu crash.
BBS Mod 2.3.1
Introduced the Fabric 26.3 port and expanded utility controls, with changes to replay anchoring and resource shortcuts.
BBS Mod 2.3
A texture-editing update with painting tools, colour analysis, more gizmo options and a film-backup viewing control.
BBS Mod 2.2
Added virtual keyframes, Filter clips, the preview shader toggle and replay visibility-range controls.
Check the loader route as well as Minecraft. The Forge 1.20.1 and NeoForge 1.21.1 options use the matching Fabric file with Connector and its required dependencies. Native Forge 1.12.2 follows a separate route. Follow the installation guide for the setup you select. Alpha and Beta labels apply to the individual build shown in the list.

BBS Mod Versions FAQs
Understand release numbers, choose an older build and check what a version change means for your existing projects.
What is the difference between the BBS Mod version and the Minecraft version?
They identify two different things. The BBS Mod version identifies the mod release, while the Minecraft version identifies the game build that file supports. For example, in 2.0-1.21.1, 2.0 is the BBS release and 1.21.1 is the Minecraft version. Check the loader separately as well. Choosing a matching BBS release number alone does not establish that a file fits your Minecraft setup.
How do I choose the right older BBS Mod build?
Start with the BBS release your project needs, then check the exact Minecraft version and loader listed for its file. Read that release’s dependency requirements rather than copying the setup from a different version. For example, the BBS 2.0 build for Minecraft 1.21.1 lists Fabric and NeoForge, but NeoForge requires Sinytra Connector. A loader label does not mean every loader can use the file on its own.
Why is my Minecraft version missing from an older BBS release?
Minecraft support was added at different points in the release history. For example, BBS 2.3.1 introduced an alpha Fabric build for Minecraft 26.3, while BBS 2.3.2 added a Forge 1.12.2 port. Support in a newer release does not establish support in an older one. Check the files attached to the specific release instead of assuming that today’s overall compatibility list applies to every older version.
Can BBS 2.x open films created in BBS 1.x?
BBS 1.x films are not directly compatible with BBS 2.x. BBS 2.0 changed the film format. Models and presets are mostly compatible, but that does not make an old film compatible. To continue an unfinished BBS 1.x film, keep its original setup available and preserve a backup before trying a different release.
Can I downgrade after editing a project in a newer release?
Do not assume a project saved in a newer release will open correctly in an older one. Before updating, keep an untouched copy of the project and its working setup. If you later return to the older release, use that earlier backup. Treat opening a newer project in an older release as a compatibility test on a separate copy, rather than a guaranteed way to undo an update.
Are BBS FS releases the same as BBS Mod releases?
No. BBS FS is a separate fork of BBS Mod. BBS 2 and newer are based on BBS FS, so the projects are related, but their release numbers belong to different projects. A BBS FS file is not simply another download of the same-numbered BBS Mod release. Check the project name as well as the version before choosing a file.
