I would like to know if the plugin has a discord server that brings together all the known problems, because it is not very easy to search here if we are dealing with a problem for which there is a solution or not. If this is not the case is it planned or simply not at all

How do I fix this weird animation bug after export. Everything is fine in the Mcreator test workspace but the exported mod has this animation bug. I only have my test mod and geckolib installed.

Hey, bro. I install plugin but I can't find in menu animated item. Can you help me please with this?

I'm not 100% sure if this is a bug with this plugin, but as far as my testing has showed it is and there doesnt seem to be another explanation. When I create an animated block and set it's "Tool able to destroy it." to pickaxe (havent tried the other ones but it might be the same), it overrides the tag in tags/blocks/mineable and removes all normal block elements from their, only keeping animated blocks. This only happens while the mod is installed and I've tried reinstalling and it still does the same.

Hello, I have some problems with the animated blocks. I followed the tutorial to the letter, starting each time from scratch with the minimum required but I always have the same error which occurs with a crash as soon as minecraft is opened

GeckoLib (Blockbench) => 3.0.5
MCreator => 2023.1
GeckoLib Plugin => 4.7.2

Here is link which contains the blockbench model, the animation, the display, the geo file and the texture:

And here are the logs I get: https://textsaver.flap.tv/lists/5p0f

If I did something wrong I don't see what

Hi Nerdy all you are doing is amazing and i can't wait to see what you will do in the future, i have seen your plugin maker tool and i think its an amazing thing.

Btw do you got any plans on improving the player animator plugin you made a while ago? its realy useful but realy need optimisation, especialy with the latest snapshots, and it would be good to have a kind of animation select/import like your geckolib plugin!

Anyways amazing work dude!
