Creators have been making custom mobs for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition ever since the Add-On system was released. However, it has not always been the easiest process to pick up and learn. From understanding the geometry files to how textures unwrap to fit on the model, the learning curve can be a bit steep. This is especially true if you are a brand-new creator and are not sure what a pack manifest is, or where to put files in an Add-On pack folder structure. It's very easy to make one small typo and find out your mob isn’t showing up in the game at all.
What is Blockbench?
Over the years there have been several community-created tools to help streamline this process and make it easier to make content without needing to manually edit text. One of these tools has seen widespread use throughout the community and even amongst the Marketplace Partner teams, and that is Blockbench. Blockbench is an open-source 3D modeling application where a creator can model, texture, and animate 3D block-based models for a variety of games. This helped the community with the creation of 3D assets for Minecraft immensely, but there is still a lot of manual work new creators need to do before they can see their creations in-game.
