Comments
The latest version of this plugin for 2023.3 has problems. I recently ported one of my mods (which utilizes on the plugin) from 1.18.2 (2023.1) to 1.20.1 (2023.3), but for some weird reason, the gradle task is constantly failing, and it blames a specific group of random GeckoLib entities from my workspace. These entities are no different from the GeckoLib entities in my workspace that don't have errors. Here's the gradle log:

Long story short, half of the GeckoLib entities in my workspace have errors, and I have absolutely no idea why. Could you please look into it?
hey , i love this plugin and i have played around with it alot and i have alot suggestions which could make the plugin even better . some of them are adding more animations for the animated entitites such as- spawning animation, sitting animation, climbing animation, shoulder sitting animation . i have many more ideas but i won't be able to give all of them here so if you want to add this to the plugin or anymore reply to this comment and I'll reply and it's upto you if you add or not because ik how hard coding is this is just suggestion if you want i could give more details about the animations to
i really like this plugin and i have played around with it alot . so i have a few suggestions for it such as more entity animation such as
spawning , sitting animation ( if the entity is tameable it would only when the owner right click it and if it is not tameable it works like the new camel mob), shoulder sitting animation ( plays the animation when the entity is tamed and sitting on the shoulder of the player just like parrot mob it allows the entity to sit on your shoulder and should add a x y z coordinates so that everyone could put wherever they want and also you can make it to where the could be 1 mob or 2 mobs on the shoulder),
this is just a suggestion it's upon you if you want to do or not to do as ik it's hard to code and i don't even know how to do it . if you want more suggestions i could give i have many moree
I noticed one moment here that when switching to 1.19.4, the luminous parts of the body disappear from invisible mobs. And why the concept of mobs with only visible luminous body elements collapses. Anyway, I'm not sure if this is a plugin problem or not. In any case, I wish you good luck in your life's difficulties and thank you for this wonderful plugin.
in 2023.3, version 1.19.4 works fine. as soon as I update the mod to 1.20, so there is an error with gekolib entities, which many have already talked about
