The RenderedBone interface represents a rendered item display entity in BetterModel’s bone system. Each bone can have animations, transformations, items, and hitboxes attached to it.

​
Class Information

Package: kr.toxicity.model.api.bone
Type: Final Class
Since: 1.0.0

​
Hierarchy and Structure

​
Parent and Children

public RenderedBone getRoot()
public RenderedBone getParent()
public SequencedSet<RenderedBone> flattenBones()
public Stream<RenderedBone> flatten()
Every bone has a reference to its root bone and optional parent. Use flattenBones() to get all descendant bones as a flattened collection. Example: 
renderedBone.flatten().forEach(bone -> {
    System.out.println("Bone: " + bone.name());
});

​
Identification

public BoneName name()
public UUID uuid()
public RendererGroup getGroup()
Each bone has a unique name and UUID. The RendererGroup contains metadata about the bone’s visual properties.

​
Item Management

​
Changing the Item

public boolean itemStack(Predicate<RenderedBone> predicate, TransformedItemStack itemStack)
public boolean updateItem(Predicate<RenderedBone> predicate)
public boolean updateItem(BoneRenderContext context)
Update the displayed item for this bone and its descendants. Example: 
// Change item for all bones with specific tag
bone.itemStack(
    b -> b.name().tagged(BoneTag.of("weapon")),
    transformedItemStack
);

​
Item Appearance

public boolean enchant(Predicate<RenderedBone> predicate, boolean enchant)
public boolean tint(Predicate<RenderedBone> predicate, int tint)
public void setItemMapper(BoneItemMapper itemMapper)
Control visual effects like enchantment glint and color tinting. Example: 
// Add enchantment glint to sword bones
bone.enchant(b -> b.name().name().contains("sword"), true);

// Tint bones red (0xFF0000)
bone.tint(b -> true, 0xFF0000);

​
Animation Control

public boolean addAnimation(
    AnimationOverrideState overrideState,
    BlueprintAnimation animator,
    AnimationModifier modifier,
    Runnable removeTask
)

public boolean replaceAnimation(
    AnimationOverrideState overrideState,
    String target,
    BlueprintAnimation animator,
    AnimationModifier modifier
)

public boolean stopAnimation(
    Predicate<RenderedBone> filter,
    String name,
    PlatformPlayer player
)

public RunningAnimation runningAnimation()
Manage animations on bones. Animations can be global or per-player. Example: 
// Stop animation for specific bones
bone.stopAnimation(
    BonePredicate.name("head").withChildren(),
    "nod_animation",
    player
);

​
Hit Box Management

public boolean createHitBox(
    BaseEntity entity,
    Predicate<RenderedBone> predicate,
    HitBoxListener listener
)

public HitBox getHitBox()
Create interactive hitboxes for collision and interaction detection. Example: 
// Create hitbox with interaction listener
HitBoxListener listener = HitBoxListener.builder()
    .interact(event -> {
        event.player().sendMessage("You clicked: " + event.getHitBox().groupName());
    })
    .damage(event -> {
        event.player().sendMessage("You hit for " + event.damage() + " damage!");
    })
    .build();

bone.createHitBox(
    entity,
    b -> b.name().tagged(BoneTag.of("hitbox")),
    listener
);

​
Position and Transformation

​
World Position

public Vector3f worldPosition()
public Vector3f worldPosition(BonePosition position)
public Vector3f worldPosition(BoneMovement cache)
public Vector3f worldRotation()
public Vector3f worldRotation(UUID uuid)
Get the bone’s position in world coordinates.

​
Modifiers

public boolean addPositionModifier(
    Predicate<RenderedBone> predicate,
    Function<Vector3f, Vector3f> function
)

public boolean addRotationModifier(
    Predicate<RenderedBone> predicate,
    Function<Quaternionf, Quaternionf> function
)

public void scale(FloatSupplier scale)
public void defaultPosition(Supplier<Vector3f> movement)
Apply transformation functions to modify bone positioning dynamically. Example: 
// Add bounce effect to position
bone.addPositionModifier(
    b -> b.name().name().equals("head"),
    pos -> pos.add(0, Math.sin(System.currentTimeMillis() / 200.0) * 0.1, 0)
);

// Scale bone dynamically
bone.scale(() -> 1.0f + (float) Math.sin(System.currentTimeMillis() / 1000.0) * 0.2f);

​
Display Control

public ModelDisplay getDisplay()
public boolean applyAtDisplay(
    Predicate<RenderedBone> predicate,
    Consumer<ModelDisplay> consumer
)
public boolean isDummyBone()
Access and manipulate the underlying display entity. Example: 
// Modify display properties
bone.applyAtDisplay(
    b -> b.name().tagged(BoneTag.of("glow")),
    display -> display.glowing(true)
);

​
Nametag Management

public ModelNametag getNametag()
public boolean createNametag(
    Predicate<RenderedBone> predicate,
    Consumer<ModelNametag> consumer
)
Attach text displays to bones. Example: 
bone.createNametag(
    b -> b.name().name().equals("head"),
    nametag -> nametag.text("Player Name")
);

​
Tree Matching

public boolean matchTree(
    BonePredicate predicate,
    BiPredicate<RenderedBone, BonePredicate> mapper
)

public boolean matchAnimation(
    AnimationOverrideState overrideState,
    BiPredicate<RenderedBone, AnimationOverrideState> mapper
)
Traverse the bone hierarchy with custom predicates and actions.

​
Updates and Rendering

public boolean tick()
public boolean tick(UUID uuid)
public void dirtyUpdate(PacketBundler bundler)
public void forceUpdate(boolean showItem, PacketBundler bundler)
public void sendTransformation(UUID uuid, PacketBundler bundler)
Manually control bone updates and packet sending.

​
Lifecycle

public void spawn(boolean hide, PacketBundler bundler)
public void teleport(PlatformLocation location, PacketBundler bundler)
public void remove(PacketBundler bundler)
public boolean rotate(ModelRotation rotation, PacketBundler bundler)
Control the bone’s visibility and location in the world.

​
Event Handling

public BoneEventDispatcher eventDispatcher()
Access the event dispatcher for listening to bone lifecycle events.
