Comments
Hi, I'm having issues with the plugin.
error: level has private access in Entity this.lastSwing = level.getGameTime(); and error: level has private access in Entity if (this.swinging && this.lastSwing + 7L <= level.getGameTime()) {
I've used this plugin a lot but after updating mcreator the the latest supported version of the newest geckolib version it started giving these errors. Remaking the mod element gave the same results.
Asking For help:
When I Was using 2023.2 with the geckolib Plugins(With Java Plugins on).
The Plugin Show Fully Loaded yes before I Launch the Game, after that, It turns to Fully Loaded No.
and this cause my animated Armor Getting a Weird problem, like Wrong animation and wrong position.
how should I fixed This?
I might have a possible fix.
This was my issue: Plugin shows as fully loaded when launching, but not after you do something like saving a mod element etc. It goes back "loaded: no" and I coudn't launch the test environemnt. It would quit after loading forge.
1) if you manually swap between MCreator versions regularly and move the files, check if the plugins folder that MCreator refers to is actually the folder you dropped the plugins in. This might be a fringe case but it could be an issue.
2) - and that did it for me - make sure you don't drop the display settings-file into the "geo" folder of your workspace. Import that one via the resources tab in your workspace. This let me launch the game/test environemnt again without issues.
I still get bugged textures on my animated items though... I have no idea why

Hi, I've been using the latest plugin for EAP 2023.3.34614 and encountered a weird issue.
Basic setup is flawless but upon saving an animated entity mod element with "can be controlled" and "forward movement control" enabled, I get a build error that claims 'MaxUpstep' "... has private access ..." (which I guess means that the value for it is not defined in the class itself). I can run the code if I delete the lines related to 'MaxUpstep' but I need the feature for my entity and generic entity mod elemnts do not generate this error.
Could anyone reproduce this?
If you want to make rideable entitties with this plugin version, you'll have to lock the code and remove the lines containing "MaxUpstep" from the movement crontroller section. Then look at other regular rideable entities and howthey hadnle UpStep. In you entity code, paste " setMaxUpStep(0.5f); " around the top of the code, just above where it defines "xpReward" and "setNoAi(false);"
For those who say that the api does not work, the animations are making a mistake, I solve them, I had the same problem in the last version, which is 4.8.8 in Mc 2023-3.34614 and the solution was the name code or the naming of the animations, I explain to myself in Blockbenck when they create the "idle" animation it must be with this name "animation.(model name).idle" and already saved that way when using it in the mcreator with the Gekolip api use the same name that I mentioned before "animation.(model name).idle" and that's it, they should work perfectly.
For some reason with the version v4.8.8 when I use swimming and flying animations mcreator gives me an error
