Mob's walk animation doesn't work, he walks with idle animation. Help me solve that! (Still active)

In the living entity mod element, go to the "animations" section and select an animation file. You can create one with blockbench, there are many tutorials online.

sorry... Can you provide me a link to the source code of your mod, GitHub or other? Or screenshots please

just click on "is this walk animation" near the animation

hey if you're testing through MCreator it might be the issue i also had this a while back so i tested it in normal minecraft and the animations were just fine 

Try removing the Idle animation (for now), and make sure the Walk animation is set to “Is Walking Animation”. Then see if it works in-game. If not, then perhaps you accidentally set the Walk animation to have the Idle animation file when you uploaded them. 

If your Walking animation works after removing the Idle animation, then reinstall the Idle animation, being careful not to set it to the walking animation. 

uh,, I'm having the same problem as u, op!!. i have the walking animation thing checked, and i know for a fact my idle and walking animations are correctly labeled,, so i dunno what to do!! :c 

just kinda hoping my comment revives this post a bit so someone can actually solve it :(( knock on wood tho, never tried these forums so i dunno muchh :v

Ive heard word around the community. walk animations are broken in 2026.1

The only issue we are aware of is walk animations jittering with flying entities. If you believe you have found a bug, I would really recommend to open a bug report at https://github.com/MCreator/MCreator/issues

To anyone else coming with this problem, check the following first:

1. Walk animation is controlled by the walk controller, so the entity needs AI tasks that make the entity walk
2. Walk animation usually does not need extra conditions. Make it work without conditions first and use a debugger (https://mcreator.net/wiki/how-use-debugger)
3. Increase the walk animation amplitude if you don't see movement or movement is very faint. Configure the speed parameter until the desired motion speed is achieved
