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
Hello! Sorry to bother you, but I'm having a pretty annoying problem with this plugin. I first tried to convert an earlier model I had made into a Geckolib model, and created a walking and attack animation. For some reason though, the game crashes and the crash log gives me "Failed to create model" error, caused by "java.util.NoSuchElementException: Can't find part shake". I assumed this was a problem with the converted model since one of the body parts was called shake, so I deleted it and created a new test model with a simple animation to see if it would work but it is giving the same error. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated :)
Hello，bro. I have done a great work with your approaches. But the animation sometimes doesn‘t work. For instance，I did a procedure to complete an animation to attack player.And I created a effect as the cooldown of animation. I can make sure that my procedure is correct. But the animation still can't be seen sometimes. Can you fix it or add some ways to check the animation? Thank you very much, bro!
for anyone who is having trouble with installation. I had an error saying it was unable to install and i fixed it by installing the plugin from the plugins tab in preferences. In the plugin tab in preferences you have to tick the enable java plugins box and then press load plugins and add Geckolib zip. That fixed my issue idk if it will fix yours but give it a try
Sorry to bother but... this plugin messed up my mod that required years of work since I'm developing it since minecraft 1.12.2.
I tried to update it to MC 1.19.4 using MCreator 2023.2 when I tried to compile something or just test the mod i got this error for every ranged item: "error: package Axis does not exist". I tried everything I could find but nothing worked.
So I decided to skip the version and downloaded MCreator 2024.1 and now, it doesn't even load the workspace. It says that certain elements are missing but those missing elements are the default ones from mcreator itself like blocks, biomes, etc... If I remove the plugin, it says I need it for the workspace to load. What am I supposed to do now?
Sorry, I don't want to sound rude, but... you know... "years of work wasted" doesn't sound funny.
Hello This is a wonderfull plugin but my game doesnt start and crashes every time i try to test something the error is
software.bernie.geckolib.GeckoLibException: bought:geo/bs.geo.json: Unsupported geometry json version. Supported versions: 1.12.0
id like to know how to fix this issue because i cant find a solution
Does this plugin support keyframed effects such as sounds and particles (which I make in Snowstorm)? And if so how? I have been unable to figure it out by myself.
