Topic category: Plugins and third-party tools
On 11/20/2020 there was a post made with a problem similar to this one, but as far as I understand, the question was never fully answered or the situation resolved.
To give as much context as possible, I'm using MCreator version 2023.4 because I want to make a mod in fabric, and that is (at this moment) the last available version that supports the "Fabric Generator [1.20.1]" made by the retired Goldorion, which does work.
I then downloaded the "Nerdy's GeckoLib Plugin" for that same version.
The issue though, is that even though I installed it, Checked the "Enable Java plugins", and made certain to close MCreator to load it (it says it's "fully loaded").
It just doesn't show up in my "External APIs".
I go into "Workspace", "Workspace Settings", "External APIs". but the checkbox isn't there. Along the top of the toolbar with everything else (MCreator, File, Workspace, etc.) is the GeckoLib thing, but I just don't have the checkbox to activate it.
Am I missing something? Am I misunderstanding something? Any help would be very, incredibly appreciated. I just started and I don't know how any of this fully works, so I'm a little lost in the dark.
-Thank you!
99% sure Nerdy's GeckoLib Plugin is only made for (neo)forge, not fabric and that's why.
I considered something like that being the case, but after looking through the plugin download and tutorial pages, I just became more confused about what was actually supported by the 2023.4 version for 1.20.1.
Looking at GeckoLib (The Library, not the plugin.) it has support for fabric- but I don't know what the relationship between the Library and the MCreator Plugin actually is.
You are right in that I just tested it for Forge, (which for some reason I hadn't thought to do previously, so thanks for the idea.) and the checkbox does appear then. So I'm generally inclined to believe now that it doesn't work for fabric, but dang.
Are there any Geckolib plugins for MCreator that do work with Fabric? Or maybe a setting I can change? Or am I just fully outta luck?
The Geckolib library and MCreator plugin are two very different things.
You're likely out of luck.
Well shoot.
Thank you though, I appreciate the responses.
I remember at one point in time it had something for fabric- like around 1.19.2
was it never updated past that? Did they just completely remove the fabric compatible versions?
