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.
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.
It also adds some Blocklys:
For now, only 1.20.1 is supported.
How does the plugin work?
DG Dlib Transform has an API application. When enabled, it creates a folder called jarjar, which initially contains the "dlib_integrated" file, which is responsible for integrating the lib.
Set to true or false;
If true, implementation occurs directly in the main mod, without generating dependencies, adding to the basic implementation of a composite mod.
If false, implementation will be via dependency, requiring the lib's .jar file.
It also generates a file required for implementation called "metadata." Only edit it if you know what you're doing.
When exporting, the same "metadata" file will be copied to its proper location.
Animation playback by blockly:
- This feature is only available for the Java entity, using the modified generator that is also available for download.
- Geckolib: support only in the basic transformation function.

I'm using a GeckoLib Entity to transform, but when I use the procedure:
"Play animation on the transformed player (Enter animation name), in Loop mode"
an error appears that I can't resolve:
The Entity Input in the dg_dlib_play_animation block is empty.
How do I solve this? I thank you in advance for your attention and your plugin is being essential for my project <3
I understand, thanks for the reply; but I saw that the example model you sent is the same one used in 2025.X without geckolib. It doesn't work for 2024.1 (which I'm using), unfortunately... But even so, your plugin is still useful to me, thank you.
I hope to see many interesting updates for your plugin in the future. Thank you for your attention and work <3
Dlib uses existing or created entities, so first of all, create your entity, activate the Api, and in the procedure always put first, the "start Dlib" it references the player, then the next ones will always use the reference of the "Start Dlib" take the next one that is to transform, put the id of your entity and the id of your mod, as follows the example in the image in the plugin description.
