GeckoLib support for MCreator is back! Now more powerful than ever, GeckoLib allows you to animate your entity, block, armor and item models using smooth keyframe animations made with blockbench. This plugin implements an easy to use method of applying those animations and models in only a few simple steps!
The java plugins feature needs to be enabled as this is a java plugin
-This plugin is not maintained or supported by the the creators of GeckoLib.
As I am currently serving in the military, I have little time to test and update the plugin, so expect to encounter bugs. I will eventually fix them, but don't count on a specific timeline. Also, fabric support is currently dropped as I barely have time to maintain just the forge version.

Comments
I tried to create my animated mob through the geckolib plugin, I did everything according to the official guide. I made a model, texture, animations, uploaded everything, set up the mob, wrote down the names of all the animations. When I go to minecraft it gives me an error: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException: null
This is awesome, I’m actually currently using this plugin to make my own mod! :D
It’s gonna be a cross between MineFantasy and TinkersConstruct for 1.18.2, and to that end…
I would like to make a request that you make an animated tools object type, because as it stands now I’m having to use the animated items object type which as you can probably guess isn’t the most ideal solution (I still don’t even fully know how I’m gonna make the game recognize them as tools yet…) so a new animated tools object type would be greatly appreciated!
Hello author, I would like to take one texture from this plugin, but I don’t know how, please (can you help me get the texture, model and animation). I'm just making my first mod and it's very difficult for me to draw, animate and write a procedure, can you help? (Sorry for my English, I translated via Google Translate, I'm from Ukraine)
Can you make player animations with this.
