# Touhou Little Maid Plugin

For the convienience of designing resource pack for the mod, I've made a plugin for Blockbench.

  • This plugin is easy to use;
  • It's simple to create resource pack folder;
  • It's quick to import models that has pre-existing resource packs;
  • It can quickly export models from resource packs;

Note: Do not change the name of the plugin, or the loading will fail!

Update method: Override the old file, and restart Blockbench!

# The plugin is installed, how do I start to make the model resource package?

Generally speaking, these steps are needed:

  1. Create a default model.
  2. Modify it to what you want based on the default model.
  3. Create textures and draw textures for it.
  4. Create a resource pack.
  5. Export the model into this resource pack.
  6. Finished, load this resource pack in the game and see the effect!

# Ok, I get it, let's start!

Need to pay attention to several points:

  1. The maid animation is automatically added based on the group name, so please do not delete or rename at will
  2. Pay attention to the parent-child relationship of the group
  3. Pay attention to the pivot point

# 3. Create textures and draw textures for it
