β¨ Add an option to control which animations get exported/overriddenΒ #473
I will only request a single feature in this request. If I have multiple feature requests, I will create a separate request for each one.
π Description
Context:
I am being a madman and trying to manually edit the frames of an animation (and the "play" function for it). I'm doing this so that I can have the end position of the animation be determined during runtime, instead of being one set position. Every time I export, however, it overrides all of my changes. Even if I try to "unload" the animation in Blockbench, it simply deletes the necessary functions for playing the animation.
I desperately need a way to control which animations get overridden or not, so that I don't have to do hours of work (or copy-pasting-in the backups) every time I need to export my project file.
Thank you for your time. Sincerely,
Your Resident Madman
π‘ Describe the solution you'd like
I desperately need a way to control which animations get overridden or not, so that I don't have to do hours of work (or copy-pasting-in the backups) every time I need to export my project file.
Perhaps a checkbox in the right-click menu on the animations that will enable/disable "Update on Export".
π§ͺ Describe alternatives you've considered
I've considered trying to have my own custom-named functions copying what the original files do (i.e "play_override.mcfunction"), so that those files don't get overridden, but it seems too complex for me to get working (likely due to the amount of scoreboards needed "_override" versions of).
changed the title [-]β¨ [EXPORT CONTROL] The ability to control which animations get exported/overridden[/-][+]β¨ Add an option to control which animations get exported/overridden[/+]on Jun 24, 2026
This is more difficult than just "don't export this anim" as Animated Java currently just up and deletes everything from the old export when exporting. So I need to worry about filtering out the animation's files, and I want to do that in a way that isn't a hacky work-around. So I've been considering a solution for a while.
I plan on adding a solution for this issue, I just haven't found one I like.
