New in Blockbench 4.6.0 (Jan 17, 2023)
- Animation controller editor:
- Blockbench 4.6 introduces a brand new interface to edit animation controllers for Minecraft Bedrock Edition.
- Generally, animation controllers are handled similarly to animations.
- They are automatically imported when loading a model, based on the client entity file. You can also import them using the Import Animations button.
- Selecting an animation controller brings up the editor, where, on new controllers, you can pick a controller preset. Once your controller has states, you can arrange and edit them, create transitions, and preview the animations.
- https://bedrock.dev/docs/stable/Animations#Animation%20Controllers
- Please note that animations use short names in animation controllers to link them to a state. Blockbench cannot edit the client entity file at this time to change these short names, so you need to manually make sure that they are correct in there. Blockbench automatically assumes the last part of the animation ID to be the short name, but you can also change it manually.
- Preview:
- Use the buttons at the top to change the animation controller preview playback.
- By default, it is on Manual, which lets you click on a state to preview the transition and animation.
- Paused will pause the animation controller preview entirely.
- Setting it to Auto Play will automatically transition between the states by evaluating the transitions.
- Use the new button type impulse to trigger respective transitions. Example: variable.attack_time = impulse('Attack')
- At the moment, recursively playing animation controllers won't preview.
- Also, preview for start_delay and loop_delay is not implemented but planned for the future.
- The "Blend by Shortest Path" option also has no effect on the preview at the moment.
- Transitions:
- Transitions are displayed as connection lines above and below the states. Where the transitions going towards the right are displayed below the states, and the transitions looping back to the left are displayed above the states.
- You can click on a connection line to select the other state and preview the transition.
- You can double click a connection line to jump to the transition and edit the condition.
- Click and drag on the connection port of a state (the blue shape at the top and bottom of a selected state) to create a connection to another state. Alternatively, use the plus button in the Transitions list.
- Options:
- You can add animations to a state. Animations consist of a linked animation (optional) for preview, a short name (used by Minecraft), and a condition / blend value (also optional).
- You can add particles and sound effects, just like you can with keyframes.
- Under On Entry and On Exit, you can add a Molang script to run on transitions.
- Lists can be re-arranged by dragging the gray rectangle on the left side.
- Settings Profiles:
- Settings profiles let you define profiles that override specific settings based on a condition
- Here are a few example use cases that you could use them for:
- Create a Recording profile for recording videos. The profile could scale up the interface to be easier to read on videos, enable Streamer Mode to hide your sensitive information, etc.
- Create a profile for a specific format or to files in a specific directory. Change whether project files are minified, how often automatic backups are created, or how big default cubes are.
- Create a profile for another user who has different preferences and another user name in edit sessions, or another Sketchfab account.
- How to use profiles:
- Open the settings menu
- Create or select a profile in the top right corner, above the search bar.
- Change the value of a setting. The setting will highlight in the color of the profile, indicating that the profile is changing the setting.
- You can press the X button to clear the profile override of a setting again.
- Switch back to the profile "None" to see and edit the master values of the settings.
- Profile condition types:
- There are different types of conditions for profiles, and more might be added in the future:
- Manually Selectable: Manually choose the profile from File > Preferences > Profiles, or using the button in the window frame.
- Format: Enable the profile if a specific model format is used.
- File Path: The profile is enabled when editing files or projects that match the file path. The condition value uses regular expression syntax, forward slashes separate the directory names, case is ignored. Example: my-project/.+.json$ matches JSON files in the my-project directory.
- Bézier keyframe interpolation:
- 4.6 introduces bézier keyframe interpolation. The option can be selected from the keyframe interpolation menu. It adds two handles to the keyframe for each axis in order to change their curve.
- Bézier keyframes should be used along with the Graph Editor in order to adjust their control points
- The two handles can be locked together and unlocked by right clicking the keyframe and changing the option in the context menu.
- Bezier keyframes are baked on export in all formats that support animations. In Minecraft Bedrock animation files, they are baked too, but optimized in order to create fewer keyframes when possible. This should still be kept in mind when creating animations, since sine curves or catmull rom (Smooth) keyframes can create more optimized files.
- You can choose whether to show or hide the handles of not selected bezier keyframes in the settings.

New in Blockbench 4.1.0 Beta 1 (Dec 10, 2021)
- Inverse Kinematics:
- Inverse Kinematics are back! They allow you to animate a chain of bones by moving the end point. Here's how to use them:
- Set up a bone chain, this can be a leg, tail, etc. Make sure all pivots are correct
- Add a Null Object (from the edit menu) to the parent bone of the chain, e. g. the bone you do not want to move
- Right click the Null Object and select the IK target. This can be the bone at the end of the chain, or a locator at the end of the chain.
- Switch to animation mode, create an animation, and animate the position of the Null Object. This will animate the bone chain to always try to reach the target.
- Export as glTF or bedrock animation. Make sure to also save the project as a .bbmodel file in order to keep the original movement of the null object.
- Note that the option "Lock IK Target Rotation" is not implemented at the moment
