I am trying to make a mod that is adding some weapons such as claymores, katanas, fists and so on. I want to make a new animation to one claymore which will be similar to the animation of the special attack of the Fume Ultra Greatsword from ds3 but i dont know how to make it.
Minecraft and MCreator don't have built in tools to change the player's animations, since they're pretty hard coded into the game. Luckily, there's a plugin for this! (I think it's called Goldfuscate?) Plugins let you load in external library mods and make code for them in MCreator! (So you would use a tool like blockbench to make the animation, download the plugin for your MCreator workspace, and then make sure your players also download the library mod when they use your mod.) That's the one downside- if you use an external tool like this, you'll also need another mod to make it work once you export it.
Plugins are kind of complicated to explain fully, but there's some decent tutorials out there. (I vaguely remember following one of NorthwestTree's). Haven't used this plugin myself, so I'm not sure if it's updated to the latest version, but it's worth a shot.
Thank u so much!
