Check the README for usage/install instructions!
New in this (2.1.3) bug-fix update:
Windows is a special operating system that decided to not play along with the the rest of the gang. Some change in blender's filepath calculations on Windows made meshswapping and mob spawning not work in blender 2.76. This update only patches that issue (both linux and OSX were fine all along). Big features coming soon, stay tuned!
New in this (2.1) release:
- Added the Mob Spawner functionality! You can now with a click of a button spawn in a variety of included minecraft rigs, or install your own!
- Now there are 25 Included rigs! Credits for the creators of these rigs are on the readme page
- This slightly random assortment of rigs will be expanded very soon, and eventually will cover all mobs in the game! Some optimizations need to be made first.
- No significant changes have been made to meshswapping or material prepping.

New in this (2.1.2) update:
- Made the rig folder a scene variable, so the path is saved with the blend file (default set to the one in the addon preferences)
- This allows you to truly use the addon in a project with locally mapped rig folders without having to set the rig path for all blender instances/projects.
- Added several more mob rigs, including spiders, zombies, rabbits, and VMcomix’s player rig.
- Minor improvements to Mineways meshswapping
- Added custom icons - only visible when using blender 2.75!
- Created a “no category” section for mob spawning, so any rig in the rig folder and not in a sub-folder (a category) is also included.
- Added more blocks for meshswapping, including sea lanterns, spawners, and more doors (note: doors still don’t quite meshswap correctly, turn off “join same mesh” to manually fix for each one)
- Prototyped a function for shift-a adding meshswap objects, coming soon!
- Added script support for the rigs, as implemented with the VMcomix rig
- If your rig has a script e.g. to show/hide bones and for custom UI sliders, simply place the script in the same folder as the rig blend itself, and rename it to match the blend file but with the .py extension.
- Fixed bug where clearing the pose also cleared drivers
- Several other user experience and functional improvements

Download the MCprep_addon_v2.0.2.zip file below, and install that addon in blender as a zip file.
Check the README for usage instructions!
View the most recent demo video demo here!
New in this release:
- Added several more objects/groups for meshswapping both for jmc2obj and Mineways, including: bookshelves, some doors, crafting table, enchanting table (pre-aniamted), and more flora.
- Added the license for the models, CC-BY. If you use the meshswap files, give credit by linking to this addon!
- Changed the default meshswap exporter to none, forcing users to select the right one.
- MeshSwap now will keep the same selection after running as before
- Fixed meshswap offset function (part of Mineways function), objects should be placed in the right place now
- Merged the jmc2obj and Mineways meshswap blend file into one, using different layers for exporter specific objects
- Now an option for joining meshswapped blocks together, on by default (equivalent behavior to previous versions). If turned off, all objects swapped in will remain separate, independent blocks.
- Fixed torch rotation for Mineways and torch duplication with jmc2obj
- Add preliminary support for swapping doors (oak and iron), but currently will be rotated wrong and, with Mineways, will swap in two overlapping doors. Also jmc2obj imports the wooden door instead of the iron door for reasons yet to be understood.
- Cycles will used animated texture if one is present prior to material prep.
- Added an auto-update checker, now if a new version of MCprep is available a label will appear in the addon window to get the new release.
- Minor updates to opt-in usage tracking, now the user only needs to click the button once to enable/disable usage tracking without having to save user preferences. Please consider enabling it, helps to understand the users actions!
