Player Animator API somehow messing up Geckolib Entities

One of my Geckolib entities gets semi-corrupted if I enable the Player Animator API for some reason, and it didn't fix after disabling it. My only solution is to make a new identical Entity with a different ID.

I get a ton of errors saying "cannot find symbol", the first one being this:

C:\Users\xxxxx\MCreatorWorkspaces\modname\src\main\java\net\mcreator\modname\init\modnameModEntities.java:159: error: cannot find symbol public static final DeferredHolder<EntityType<?>, EntityType<MokeBasketballEntity>> MOKE_BASKETBALL = register("moke_basketball",

I noticed too that the Entity disappears from the list of imports in the ModnameModEntities.java file
