I have a .json file for a custom entity made and imported, but when I click "Entity model:" in the Living entity tab, the custom model does not appear.
The only things that appear are 'BUILT IN' models.
I have tried using other file formats and relaunching the program. I have found a similar issue here: https://mcreator.net/tracker/issue/55652 but I am still very unclear.
How can I use my model?

I've been doing some searching.
It seems that I have to export my model with '*.java' extension. The editor that I am using, Blockbench, does not export projects as .java files.
Unless I am missing something, I am a bit disappointed because I put some good work into the model. Then again, if there is a way to export models as a .java file, I would really like to know.
Perhaps maybe a recommended model editor?
Another update,
MCreator can export files as .java, the conversion works! but it does not save textures. This is good news.
"MCreator can export-"
*BlockBench can export-
I suggest you check our tutorials collection playlist on our YouTube channel which contains many examples and tutorials that can help you get started with MCreator: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAeL-oIFIEngE6jRgFYeFMfuj8WQsO3Ei
This tutorial collection contains some useful Blockbench related tutorials
If you haven't done it yet, convert the project to "Modded Entity", then go to File>Export>Export Java Entity.
