This plugin aims to integrate a private lib called Dlib, developed to allow the player to transform into entities, perform registered animations, and be compatible with the modded entity, geckolib, and mcreator's own animation system.
Please note that this plugin requires the Java Plugin feature to be enabled.
Why use my plugin?
Dlib was developed by my team as a private lib, without adding commands, so only modders with the plugin could use it.
Unlike public mods that provide commands and an interface for easy manipulation, Dlib adds nothing beyond direct manipulation during mod development, with simple calls, fully adapted to blocklys and composite implementation, without generating dependencies.
Currently, it supports geckolib, but exclusively for Java Entity and its animation system.
Usage rights:
This is a demo version, with initial support for Dlib version 1.0.
To use any blockly plugin, it is necessary to have the mandatory blocklys plugin installed first.
It also adds some Blocklys:
Animation Registration System:
Dlib now has a procedure-based registration method.
Note: The order in which the animations are registered must be the same as how they were placed in the entity, and you cannot add more animations than were placed in the entity.
For now, only 1.20.1 is supported.
I'm currently focusing solely on Forge 1.20.1. If you'd like to port to another version, please contact me privately via Discord, and we'll discuss the cost.
Payment accepted: PayPal only, and the fee will be included in the total price.
Note: You can choose whether the port will be private or public.
How does the plugin work?
The DG Dlib Transform has an API. When activated, it creates a folder called jarjar, which initially contains the "metadata" file. Control of the integration has been moved to the Dlib Menu.
Set to true or false;
If true, the implementation occurs directly in the main mod, without generating dependencies, complementing the basic implementation of a composite mod.
If false, the implementation will be done through a dependency, requiring the library's .jar file.
A file necessary for the implementation, called "metadata," is also generated. Edit it only if you know what you are doing.
When exporting, the same "metadata" file will be copied to the correct location.
Animation playback by blockly:
- Geckolib: support only in the basic transformation function.

When using the /summon command, the mod ID and the entity ID will always be displayed.
Example /summon minecraft:bat
