can you add a few important features that could possibly improve your plugin several times?
1. A new procedural block for checking, that is, if a certain animation is produced.
2. If at all possible, then - since if your mob has a custom model, then this mob will not display armor or at least an item. Can you fix it somehow? Or try adding a new procedural block that makes a certain model group appear? It could be useful like this: "if the mob has 20 health, then show (model group name)".
I hope you pay attention
hey NerdyPuzzle! i'm having a problem with MCreator, and while i don't think that this plugin is the problem, Klemen said on the github page that it could be caused by it so i'm going to ask if there's a way to fix this. anytime i try to load my client, it crashes with a rendering overlay error. i'm using the latest version of this plugin, so any help would be appreciated, i've attached the pastebin of my log file

Hi, i'm a part time animator, i've dealt and used a bunch of programs regarding 3D animations like 3DS Max, Autodesk Maya, and Blender, so i've been quite accustomed to the way their hierarchy works for the bones. However, the way that GeckoLib deals with armors completely breaks any possible rule regarding 3D animation, since it basically separates the joints from the body, resulting in some dynamic poses to be either frustratingly hard to create or downright impossible. Is there any chance to get the proper hierarchy to work for armors as well, maybe by searching child bones inside the main parent bone when configuring the armor within MCreator? This plugin is fantastic for entities, but not that much for armors.
So, I don't know if this is the right place to say it but I found a bug. When I kill an entity it instantly drops the xp, but when the death animation ends it drops the xp again. It can be easily fixed so it's not really annoying but it would be good if you could fix this bug
But anyways, this plugin is amazing, thanks for making it!
I noticed something with the animated entity, when you set the movement speed below or to 0.1, the animation doesn't pick up that it's walking and it stays on its idle animation.
