Comments

for some reason the invisibility effect doesn't work on my animated entities.

I've noticed that it is now impossible to put the creative tab as "No Creative Tab".
Think this is because of how the tabs are set up now, hopefully this can be fixed :)

I guess everyone here has this issue however I'll still ask. Is there any way to make the item have 2 IDLE animations? Because when I try to "when item in hand tick: play animation", it starts vibrating between the idle animation and the animation I need, and I found no ways to fix this. Looping animation cannot be stopped, same with "stick on last frame", and if you make animation long enough, it will only stop when finished playing and not when told to. I am using the latest versions of plugin and MCreator 2024.1

Something weird is happening with it.
I'm on the latest version with the latest installment however, when I make an animated entity or something, it does not let me get past the red loading screen when I run the game. I have no idea why this is happening.

Sorry for the dumb question, but updating from Neoforge 1.20.4 to 1.20.6 gives me an error every time I try to open my workspace saying "Mod element types: animatedentity" is any solution to this? I have just to wait until is fully updated? I am missing something?

I'm tired of using complex NBT procedures to sync attack animations with the damage, boss... Could you, perchance, make a damage delay built directly into the plugin?

Hey there! I've got a suggestion: sometimes, big and asymmetrical entities (like dinosaurs) can't be correct bound by their bounding boxes, which means they disappear if the player looks away from the bounding box even if the entity should still be visible.

Would it possible to add an option to always render an entity, regardless of whether the player is looking at the bounding box?
