Topic category: Help with Minecraft modding (Java Edition)
I'm trying to help my son learn about modding and we've run into an error I don't understand. We have created a few simple mods with MCreator (Forge 1.19.2). We made a new block and a new recipe. These worked fine.
Next we tried to make a new mob using Blockbench and GeckoLib. We have the GeckoLib plugins installed for Blockbench and MCreator. We created the model and animations then exported them, following the tutorial. We imported these things to MCreator using the GeckoLib plugin and then added them to a new Animated Entity. Then we exported the mod and put it in our installation mod folder.
The game starts but I get an error. It says the mod failed to load correctly:
Failure message: pepemob (pepemob) has failed to load correctlyjava.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException: nullMod Version: 1.0.0Mod Issue URL: NOT PROVIDEDException message: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: software.bernie.geckolib3.core.IAnimatable
Searching the web turned up that I probably need to include GeckoLib in our build, but I'm not sure how to do that. Is there a way to do that just using MCreator?
I figured it out. I just had to download the GeckoLib mod .jar folder and drag it into the mod folder along with our mod.
