As for Blender we had to import the Minecraft world into it, I&rsquo;ve used <a href="https://www.realtimerendering.com/erich/minecraft/public/mineways/">MineWays</a> which sadly doesn&rsquo;t support importing meshes from installed mods, it required me to manually add placeholders for the animation pass to work with.</p>
