Feat

• Added bStats metrics integration.
• Added shadow_radius mechanism to control bone shadow size.
• Added billboard mechanism support directly to BMBoneTag.
• New tags: <BMBoneTag.local_position> and <BMBoneTag.real_position>.
• BMModelTag now accepts mechanisms (tint, glow, etc.) to apply changes to the entire model at once.

Refactor

• Optimized bmpart command: skins now load asynchronously and apply immediately (removed artificial delay).
• Updated <BMBoneTag.global_position> to return a standard LocationTag.
• Improved internal rendering logic for better compatibility with BetterModel API.
• Removed forced skin cache clearing to improve performance.

Added:

• BetterModel 1.14.0 support

Added:

• BetterModel 1.13.4 support

Bug Fixes

• bmmount: Fixed a command argument parsing error that caused a "Too many linear arguments" failure when executing the command.
• bmmount: Refactored the entire command logic to use the BetterModel API directly for mounting and dismounting entities from model bones.
  • This resolves the core issue where the command would appear to succeed but had no effect.
  • The command now correctly retrieves the RenderedBone and its HitBox to perform mount/dismount actions.
  • Added proper error handling to inform the user if the target bone is not a valid seat (i.e., not tagged with p in the model file).

Added:

• <PlayerTag.limb>: Returns the MapTag of the player’s limb animation data. Example: map@[animation_name=roll;loop_mode=loop;default_loop_mode=play_once]
• <PlayerTag.limb_bones[<model_name>]>: Returns the MapTag of all player limb bones.
• BetterModel 1.13.0 support

Fixed:

• Resolved a critical state management issue where applying transformations to a bone (e.g., scale, item, offset) would reset any previously applied transformations. The bone's state is now persistent across separate commands, allowing for cumulative adjustments.

Added:

• New offset Mechanism: Added an offset mechanism to BMBoneTag. This allows scripters to apply a local positional offset to a bone using a LocationTag without altering its currently displayed item or scale. Syntax: adjust <bone> offset:<location>.
• New view_range Mechanism: Added a view_range mechanism to BMBoneTag. This allows scripters to set the render distance of a bone's display entity in blocks, using a decimal value. This is useful for hiding model parts in certain camera perspectives. Syntax: adjust <bone> view_range:<#.#>.

Changed:

• The item mechanism for BMBoneTag has been refactored. It no longer accepts a LocationTag for an offset. Its sole purpose is now to set the ItemTag for the bone, preserving any existing offset or scale.

Refactored:

• Extracted core bone manipulation logic from BMBoneTag into the new net.openproject.dbettermodel.api.BMBone API class. This significantly reduces complexity in the Denizen object layer, improves code structure, and enhances reusability.
• Simplified BMBoneTag to act as a lightweight proxy, delegating all mechanism logic (tint, visible, item) to the new BMBone API.

Added:

• New API Class: Introduced net.openproject.dbettermodel.api.BMBone, a high-level API for programmatic control over individual model bones. It provides simplified methods for tinting, visibility (global and per-player), item setting, and scaling.
• New Mechanism: Added a scale mechanism to BMBoneTag. This allows scripters to adjust the non-uniform scale of a bone's displayed item using a LocationTag as a vector.
• New Command Argument: Added an optional hide:<player> argument to the bmlimb command. This allows hiding all of the target player's active models from a specific observer player.

Changed:

• Updated the syntax of the bmlimb command to include the new optional hide argument.
• Modified BMLimbCommand's processing logic to interact with the target player's EntityTrackerRegistry to apply per-player visibility changes when the hide argument is used.

for BetterModel v1.10.1, MC 1.21.4, Denizen 1.3.1 (7144)

Added:

• Bone Visibility Mechanism (visible): Implemented a new mechanism for BMBoneTag to control bone visibility. It supports both global toggling and per-player visibility changes via packet manipulation. [EXPERIMENTALLY, THERE ARE PROBLEMS]
• Bone Item Mechanism (item): Introduced a mechanism for BMBoneTag that allows setting a custom ItemTag as the bone's model, with optional support for a local LocationTag offset. [This mechanism previously existed, but has been added again]
• Configurable Skin Application Delay: Introduced a new option in config.yml (options.skin-apply-delay-ticks) to allow server administrators to define the delay before a player skin part is applied to a model bone via the bmpart command. This provides greater flexibility and control over the timing of asynchronous operations, enabling fine-tuning for server performance and skin-fetching reliability.
• Dynamic Skin Part Command (bmpart): Implemented the new bmpart command to interface with BetterModel's skin and bone APIs. This command allows scripts to map a model bone to a player's skin part (e.g., head, arm), enabling dynamic model customization. The feature utilizes a custom BoneItemMapper in conjunction with SkinManager#removeCache to ensure skin textures are fetched and applied correctly, even when updated in real-time by other plugins.
• SkinsRestorer Hook, new debug, new config and more
