About the plugin

Upgraded and improved, Nerdy's New Curios API plugin introduces new mod elements to MCreator that allow for creating Curios compatible slots and baubles that can provide both visual model rendering and functionality.


While Curios API must always be enabled in the workspace, it does not become a required dependency, remaining completely optional. When Curios is not loaded alongside your mod, your baubles only lose their Curios functionality and your mod is able to be loaded alone.

Java plugins must be enabled for this plugin to load

How to use?

First of all, despite being optional when loading the mod, Curios API must be enabled in your workspace so the Curios code can compile. You will need to do this in workspace settings.


You can then create a curios bauble and select the item element you want to turn into a bauble.


To render a model when equipping the bauble, you will need to make a java model the same way you would for an armor, and select the pieces so they can match the movement of the player model


Showcase


With the curios slot mod element, you can also create new slots for your baubles not included in curios. The texture should match the size of the slot. If not, it will be stretched and resized to fit.

Hello NP, Sir. I was wondering if I could receive some help/insight with curio model rotation.

https://www.reddit.com/r/MCreator/comments/116s8c7/help_with_mcreator_baubles_api_info_in_image/
Above is a link to my Reddit post about the issue, where I go more in-depth.

But basically, If I am standing still with multiple curios equipped, everything is fine and the models look normal. The issue is when I crouch/sneak. If I have multiple curio items and I try to crouch/sneak, every model, excluding the first one equipped, gets rotated in a weird direction/way (images in the Reddit post).

It is weird because when there is only one curio equipped, the animations/rotations for the model are completely normal and look as expected when sneaking or doing any other player animation. It is only when I have multiple curios showing that the issue occurs. I can have multiple equipped and if only 1 is set to visible, the issue is resolved, and the animations/rotations go to normal for the curio that is visible.

On Reddit, someone mentioned it may have to do with the model rotation check marks in the bauble properties tab, but I did multiple tests with them unchecked and checked in various variations, and the same issue was occurring.

Any insight on this issue would be massively appreciated and helpful, thank you.

Will this be a thing not updated due to it being overly complicated to try and fix or is it a for now thing? Sense I would like to know if I gotta scrap some stuff for my mod also sry if I’m being annoying

when I added my gauntlets it didn't follow the idle animation of its arms for my player character is it is this a me thing or is this a everyone thing?
