Compatibility with ModelEngine assets

Zero Learning Curve

To minimize your learning curve and ensure an effortless transition,
BetterModel is designed to strictly follow the mechanics documented in ModelEngine's wiki.

Built for Your Convenience

To ensure you can use BetterModel without any friction, we are replicating the mechanics and configurations you are already used to.
By supporting existing MythicMobs mechaincs, BetterModel allows you to migrate your hard work effortlessly.
In most cases, it’s as easy as removing the old plugin and dropping in BetterModel.

Tip

Since BetterModel shares many core features with MEG, we strongly recommend consulting both the BetterModel and ModelEngine wikis.

Note: Plugins that rely directly on ModelEngine's internal Java API are not currently compatible.
