Nothing is limiting you from implementing a tool or item that imitates mace :)

How do Sprites work exactly? I am trying to get my player attributes (which do not use entity attributes and are solely variables) to have multiple images depengin on where it is on the scale from 30 to 260.

Make texture with different sub-textures side by side, same dimension. Then select it. Your procedure that returns index of sprite then selects which sub-texture to use

Hey Klemen can is it possible to create a generator for creating Plugins for MCreator itself in MCreator?

That would be awesome!

That would be a bit of an inception. Also making plugin that at the end of the day generates code usually requires the user to know coding, rendering the tool for this a bit redundant

I like that idea as well.

not sure if this is already easily possible but i've always wanted to be able to change textures or add more variants of an existing vanilla animal, eg. a cat, cow, chicken, pig, etc.

me as well

you can with optifine :)

yes, but how would that work with a mod?

you need to know file coding for that... :/

It would be so awesome if you could add the ability to have multiple textures for a single mob, maybe through procedures.

This feature already exists and is called mob layers. Add new layer with "default" model and select alternative texture. Then use synced entity data to conditionally show layer depending on your conditions / synced data value

Thank you!

Sorry, but I seem to be having a little difficulty. Could you explain in just a little more detail? Or if you have any links to threads that would be so helpful.

I recommend opening forum topic for this, comments of snapshot are not meant for extended support

Okay, Thank you.

Also please add end biomes as the plugin is not updated to the latest version.

We will support them when a good cross-mod-compatible API for this is established by either modding API or the Minecraft itself

Can you add a new mod element that allows us to make custom armor trims? The plugin "Armor Trims" is outdated and isn't being updated. Also when I import a Blockbench model the workspace does not compile properly. Please check this also.

"when I import a Blockbench model the workspace does not compile properly" - this means something in your entity model is not configured properly.

The solution to this problem and many other problems can be found in our knowledge base: https://mcreator.net/support/knowledgebase Please check the knowledge base before opening a new topic on the issue which has a known fix.

I figured out how to import Blockbench models thanks.
