GeckoLib support for MCreator is back! Now more powerful than ever, GeckoLib allows you to animate your entity, block, armor and item models using smooth keyframe animations made with blockbench. This plugin implements an easy to use method of applying those animations and models in only a few simple steps!
The java plugins feature needs to be enabled as this is a java plugin
-This plugin is not maintained or supported by the the creators of GeckoLib.
As I am currently serving in the military, I have little time to test and update the plugin, so expect to encounter bugs. I will eventually fix them, but don't count on a specific timeline. However, you are making it harder on yourself by not using my issue tracker and expecting me to read every comment here to see if anyone is encountering issues every time I release a new version.

Comments
btw just to heads up the guys; you can set Translucent textures now on the entities on 2023.4, if you are doing a geckolib entity, just set the texture with the translucent part already it will load it, just test my helicopter here and the glass looks great now :)
thank you
I am the one who opened the pull requests for the layers to begin with so I can easily port them to this plugin. However, I'd need to test how the behaviour of layers work for geckolib entities when the models are different; does every model need to have the same animation names? Do animations work if they only exist for one of the models? I'll be able to perform those tests in a week when I return home and have days off for the holidays. So it's possibly coming soon-ish.
As I understand it Nerdy is a sadist who is too lazy to change the number in 1.20.1 and people suffer because of it /:)
I'll tell you how to fix the MCreator crash on your 1.20.1 version:
Open your MCreator -> Preferences -> Manage Plugins -> Open plugins folder -> open Nerdy's plugin with some kind of archiver, WinRar or something like that -> open package "apis" -> open geckolib.yaml. Find forge-1.20.1:
gradle: |
repositories {
maven {
url = 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/geckolib3/geckolib/maven/'
}
}
dependencies {
implementation fg.deobf('software.bernie.geckolib:geckolib-forge-1.20.1:4.2.2')
}
And change your "1.20.1:4.2.2" to "1.20.1:4.2.3". And that's all, after mcreator should actually manually download the necessary geckolib, and then there should be no crash because of the version
Yo TIpoModiSosdau,
Wow, thanks for the vote of confidence! Didn't realize I was on the naughty list for being a lazy sadist. My bad, didn't mean to make people suffer by not updating numbers. Thanks for digging through the files like a code detective. Real MVP move.
But hey, next time you wanna drop some geckolib wisdom, maybe hit up GitHub instead of this comment section. Open an issue, or better yet, flex those coding muscles and send a pull request. I could use more heroes like you.
Keep on slaying those plugin mysteries,
Nerdy (the lazy sadist)
Good to hear, thanks for testing!
