Migrating from Older Versions

Learn how to migrate your Projects from older versions of Animated Java to the latest version.

# Upgrading .ajmodel Files

On the Blockbench start screen, you can scroll down to find the Update .ajmodel option.

Clicking this will open a file dialog, allowing you to select the .ajmodel file you wish to update.

# Cleaning up Outdated Exports

Any old exported files from previous versions of Animated Java should be removed from both your Data Pack and Resource Pack before exporting a .ajblueprint.

# Files / Folders to Remove

• <data_pack_root>/data/animated_java/
• <data_pack_root>/datapack.ajmeta
• <resource_pack_root>/assets/animated_java/
• <resource_pack_root>/resourcepack.ajmeta

You will also need to remove the Animated Java function references from the minecraft:tick and minecraft:load tags in your Data Pack.

• <data_pack_root>/data/minecraft/tags/functions/tick.json
• <data_pack_root>/data/minecraft/tags/functions/load.json

# Function API Changes

A few changes have been made to the function API in Animated Java. These changes are detailed below.

# Summon Function

The summon function has been updated to use macro arguments instead of scoreboard arguments.

        scoreboard players operation #variant aj.i = $aj.armor_stand.variant.no_baseplate aj.id
scoreboard players operation #animation aj.i = $aj.armor_stand.animation.walk aj.id
scoreboard players set #frame aj.i 20
function animated_java:armor_stand/summon

      

        function animated_java:armor_stand/summon {args:{variant:'no_baseplate', animation:'walk', frame: 20}}
