Hi everyone, I'm new to Mcreator, and now I'm trying to make a clone that can be summoned and have the skin that the player who summom it, I know there are some relative posts on the forum, but they are just too old and I couldn't use them (or maybe because i'm too stupid), I also did a lot of searches but still can't find a way to make it. Does anyone know how to do it? Thanks a lot! By the way, I'm using Geckolib plugin, and the version is 2023.4.
(Sorry for my bad English)
It might be possible with Geckolib, but I'm not sure how. You can make entities with multiple textures, the problem in this case is how you access the player's skin, since this is separate from the rest of the game's assets. I think it's possible, but it will definitely require custom code, and an extensive knowledge of Geckolib. I'm not personally sure how you would do this. (But let me know if you find a solution!)
Thanks for reply! I know Geckolib can change entity texture, but just like you said, I don't know how to store player's skin without codes, I'm still finding a solution😀
Good luck! There might be another mod that does something like this, (I know various custom head mods reference player textures, so it should be possible), so you could try looking for something that does a similar thing. (Ideally something that has an open Github repository so you can see how they did it.) ...Or just learn Java properly, but I've made it this far without, and my nerd friends tell me it's not worth the effort.
