You need to make the the bottom part of the leg a parent of the top like StellaeLux said. to do this follow the steps below:

  1. In the sidebar where it shows all of your parts you need to drag the bottom part of the leg onto the top part, the position may move so you need to put it back in place.
  2. When assigning the animations in MCreator, assign the animation to the top part of the leg, since the bottom is connected to it they will both move at the same time.
  3. if you need help please let me know

If you have more then 1 leg parts you need to make all of them a parent of the top part.

Make sure that you don't rotate the feet. You may need to place them correctly from the start.

Only apply the animation to the top leg part, not any other parts. If all of your leg parts are parents of the top part then you only need to apply the animation the top part. I just made a tabula model yesterday and all the parts animate correctly when you follow the steps.

Ok, when you have time put it back in place because all you have to do after that is apply animations in MCreator and assuming you’ve done everything correctly it should work.
