Cubes are each individual cube in a model. Bones are folders for cubes, grouping them up. Cubes are each individual cube in a model. Bones are folders for cubes, grouping them up.
Model Engine achieves smooth animation by taking a Generic or Bedrock model and splitting it into multiple resource pack compatible models, based on the bones. In-game every bone is represented by an armor stand that wears the new models on its head.

You can build the entire model with only bones, but since each bone with a model represents an armor stand, it is wise to keep a balance between `Bone` and `Cube`. bones that don't contain any model are considered `Virtual Bone`s, and don't have armor stands.

In Blockbench, you can create a `Bone` by adding a folder/group to the outliner. Then, you can start adding cubes into the bone. In Blockbench, you can create a `Bone` by adding a folder/group to the outliner. Then, you can start adding cubes into the bone.
