## What model limitations does Animated Java have and how do they compare to Vanilla Minecraft?
3131

3232
Animated Java has fewer limitations than Vanilla Minecraft, but there are still a few limitations to keep in mind when creating your models:
3333

34-
- Elements, like in Vanilla Minecraft, are limited to rotations of 22.5 degree increments and only along one axis at a time. However, bones can be rotated freely.
35-
- Animated Java removes the 3x3x3 size limitations of Vanilla Minecraft completely, allowing for models of any size.
34+

However, bones and display nodes (like [Text Displays](/docs/the-blueprint-format/text-displays), or [Block Displays](/docs/the-blueprint-format/block-displays)) can be rotated freely.

- Animated Java completely removes all size limitations of Vanilla Minecraft.

## Are there any performance concerns with Animated Java? / What can I do to improve performance?
4040

4141
There are a few things you can do to make sure your models run as smoothly as possible:
4242

43-
- Use a few bones as possible. The more bones you have, the more NBT modifications need to be done each frame. Note that bones with no Cubes in them are not exported, and therefor do not contribute to performance issues.
44-
- Avoid playing animations when your Rig is not visible to the player.

Animated Java is designed to be as efficient as possible, but there are still some limitations to what can be done with commands. If you are experiencing performance issues, consider joining the [Animated Java Discord](/discord) for help and advice.

## Can I use vanilla item / block models?
5151

52-
**Yes!** Animated Java supports vanilla item and block models. You can use the `Add Vanilla Item Display` and `Add Vanilla Block Display` buttons in edit mode to add them to your model.
52+
**Yes!** You can use [Block Display Nodes](/docs/the-blueprint-format/block-displays) and [Item Display Nodes](/docs/the-blueprint-format/item-displays) to display vanilla blocks and items in your models.
5353

54-
If you disable `Export Resources` in your Blueprint's settings, you can make and animate Animated Java Rigs without using a Resource Pack!
54+
In order to fully disable Resource Pack exporting, you can set [Resource Pack Export Mode](/docs/the-blueprint-format/settings#resource-pack-export-mode) to `None` in your Blueprint's settings.

## Can I have multiple exported rigs in a single Data Pack / Resource Pack?
5959

60-
**Yes!** As long as each Rig's Blueprint has a unique `Export Namespace`. Just select the same export Data Pack / Resource Pack for the Blueprints you wish to merge, and Animated Java will automatically handle the rest.

**Yes!** As long as each Rig's Blueprint has a unique [Export Namespace](/docs/the-blueprint-format/settings#export-namespace), Animated Java will automatically handle merging with pre-existing rigs in the targeted Data Pack / Resource Pack.
