Comments
Good afternoon, I apologize for my English, but I can’t figure out the bug.
I use a plugin to animate weapons, but I ran into a problem that when I set the animation of an item when an entity is running, then everything is fine if the running starts when in the hand. But if the player first starts running and then takes an object, but it is invisible in his hand.
I have already tried all possible options and I guess that this is a bug. Could you fix this in future versions? or if this is not a bug then tell me how to do it
This is my attempt to reach out and ask for a plugin or at least an explanation on how to do something. I'm just wondering how doable it would be for a plugin that creates mix-ins that define custom enchantment classes that allow Vanilla enchants on custom items (like changing fire aspect to go on a custom axe or whatever)
I'm using blockbench to model with the plugin version 3.0.7 while both McCreator (2023.4) and the geckolib plugin (5.4.3) are at their latest version. I followed the instructions step by step but i keep getting tons of errors of the kind "cannot find symbol" and also "package AnimationController does not exist" and "method does not override or "implement a method from a supertype". I've tried to understand why for the last couple of days while browsing for answers but all in vain. My model and my animations should work well, the animations names are the same as they are called in McCreator. I've read that the limbs in blockbench should be named in lowercase and should not have spaces between words so i changed that. I need help.
when i make animated armour the armour clips through the character
