so how does the entity animation thing actually work? it's kinda confusing to me

You define animation in BlockBench, for example, export it to Java, and then import this animation in resources tab. Then, you select the animation in the entity editor and specify procedure that defines when it is played based on return value of the procedure

i got the blockbench part no problem, it's the procedure thing that's getting me because i have never used procedures, especially walking animations

The procedure is any simple procedure that returns a logic value depending if you want to play animation or not. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhN424lpLYI or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dO8G2CmZk9o

nvm im just dumb i figured out how it works

I suggest you check our tutorials collection playlist on our YouTube channel which contains many examples and tutorials that can help you get started with MCreator: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAeL-oIFIEngE6jRgFYeFMfuj8WQsO3Ei

thanks

well what i meant was the playbackcondition procedure not appearing in the list and always only has the default (ALWAYS)

nevermind ignore me

I wish I could make something like an ender portal.

You could do something like that using procedures

Add the ability to configure the Mob not to walk on some blocks please, I need this for the Mod About Hello Neighbor

Hey! Just and idea, but I think everyone would like if you added an animation editor.

There is already built-in texture animation editor if you meant this

Hey are you going to add support for Forge 1.21.1 because I want to make some 1.21.1 forge mods.
If u can't at least list a plugin which can do it

Going forward new generators are planned for NeoForge. Of course one can do a plugin, but our core development team does not have time nor resources to do this, so you may need to find some external resource to develop this for you

Hey Klemen, are you guys going to add support for 1.21.3 or for 1.21.4 since the latter is only a few days away? I have some ideas for a Pale Garden/Creaking mod so by the time 2024.4 is ready the update is mostly ready the update should be out and have NeoForge support by then? Thanks :)

Yeah, but I do want to keep a forge/neoforge version on 1.20.1 because most of the mods that I would put in a modpack never update higher than that.

We may support 1.21.4 eventually, but when mostly depends on the amount of the community support and development support by open-source contributors ;)

You know what would be good to add in a next update, a fully modular GUI slider, being possible to adjust the limit and appearance.

An update focused on the interface editor, both overlay and gui, as well as the ability to dynamically change size and angle.

Another addition is a scrollable page

We try to add some new GUI features every update ;)
