bettermodel_bone_appearance

Per-bone glow, tint, glint and brightness — entity entry.

The vanilla glowing_effect_data, potion_effect_color_data and brightness_data entries describe a single entity, so on a BetterModel definition they apply to the whole model. This entry targets individual bones instead, so one model can carry a glowing weapon, a tinted cape and a lit lantern at the same time.

Entry Information

Property	Value
Entry ID	bettermodel_bone_appearance
Type	Entity
Color	Red
Icon	mdi:palette

Fields

Field	Type	Description
bones	List<BoneAppearance>	Appearance overrides per bone. All criteria must match (AND) for the override to be active; when they do not, the bone falls back to its default look.

BoneAppearance

Field	Type	Description
boneName	String	The bone to target. Leave empty to target every bone of the model.
criteria	List<Criteria>	All criteria must match for the override to be active. Empty = always active.
glowing	Boolean	Outline the bone with the glowing effect.
glowColor	Color	Colour of the glowing outline.
tinted	Boolean	Tint the bone's item. Leave off to keep the model's own colours.
tint	Color	Tint colour applied to the bone's item.
enchanted	Boolean	Add the enchantment glint to the bone's item.
overrideBrightness	Boolean	Override the light level the bone is rendered with, instead of using the block it stands in.
blockLight	Int	Block light level (0-15) used when the brightness is overridden.
skyLight	Int	Sky light level (0-15) used when the brightness is overridden.

Usage Example

- entry: bettermodel_bone_appearance
  name: "Glowing sword when the quest is active"
  bones:
    - boneName: "sword"
      criteria: []
      glowing: true
      glowColor: "#FFAA00"
      enchanted: true

Notes

• An override whose criteria stop matching does not simply stop applying: it restores the bone's default look, so the effect really turns off.
• Leaving boneName empty targets every bone, which is the same reach as the vanilla glowing_effect_data entry.
