What’s New in BBS Mod 2.4?

BBS Mod 2.4 expands the texture editor and adds animation controls, visual filters and recording fixes. Here are the main changes in this release.

More control over textures

The texture editor gains a Gradient tool and new selection modes. Selection changes now work with undo and redo, so you can step back through them while editing.

More precise animation controls

Selected bones can move or rotate together around their shared midpoint. IK handles have size and opacity settings. Optional shortest-rotation interpolation handles turns beyond 180 degrees; it is disabled by default.

New filters and render scaling

Fish-eye and chromatic aberration filters add lens effects. Render scale renders at a higher resolution before downscaling to the output size. This can reduce pixelation, but takes longer to render.

Editing and recording fixes

Timeline scrubbing no longer reselects a bone. This release also fixes Shift + Z when editing the film editor gizmo and fixes combining audio tracks with recorded video on Linux.

For existing projects

Before You Update BBS Mod

Already working on a film? Keep a copy of your current setup before changing versions. A short check now lets you try the new release while keeping the project you have already built.

  1. Keep your working setup together

    Close Minecraft, then back up the game directory used by your launcher profile. Include your worlds, BBS project data, custom assets, configuration and current mods. Keep this copy outside the directory you plan to update. Saving only the old mod file will not preserve the rest of your project.

  2. Check whether you are moving from BBS 1.x

    BBS 2.0 changed the film format, so BBS 1.x films are not directly compatible with BBS 2.x. Models and presets are mostly compatible, but individual assets still need checking. If you need to finish an older film, keep the original setup available rather than assuming a newer release will open it.

  3. Try the update in a separate copy

    Use a separate launcher instance or game directory for the updated setup. For projects already on BBS 2.x, open a copy of your film there and check the models, textures, camera timing and audio. Capture a short test before a full render. Continue with the updated copy once the result looks right.

Starting your first project? You can skip these update checks. They are for existing projects and version changes; a fresh setup has no older films to preserve.

Version questions, answered

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.
