DisplayEntityUtils is a extensive plugin designed to make the usage of Display/Interaction entities simplier. It also supports BDEngine, a modeling/animation engine designed for display entities without the need for resource packs or mods.

What you'll need

Dependencies:

• PacketEvents
  • This dependency allows for usage of packet-based display entities, and is used throughout the plugin
• PassengerAPI
  • This dependency prevents conflicts with other plugins

BDEngine (Recommended):

BDEngine is what you'll use to create models and animations that can be transferred into your game world. Info on BDEngine and the Block Display Place, the collection of BDEngine models and animations, can be found HERE

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN BDModels/BDEngine! ALL ISSUES AND SUGGESTIONS RELATED TO THAT PROJECT SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO THE OWNER, ILLYSTRAY, IN THE BDENGINE DISCORD FOUND HERE
