"Ever wanted to make a gun in MCreator but ended up lost in a sea of complex procedures? Worry not! My plugin is here to save you from endless tinkering. It adds everything you need to craft firearms in a simple, clean, and almost fun way. Each action can be managed with logic so intuitive, you'll wonder why it didn’t exist already. No, it’s not magic. It’s just a well-made plugin."
WARNING: you need to enable the Java plugin.
This plugin adds a set of procedures designed to simplify the creation of firearms in MCreator, allowing you to control key actions such as firing, reloading, animations, and more.
It is also compatible with the Nerdy's Geckolib plugin, adding specific procedures to manage object animations more easily and efficiently.
Below, you'll find a complete tutorial that explains everything step-by-step.

Comments
Maybe I'm missing something, but the "Is keyboard key pressed" and "Is mouse key pressed" blocks are triggered for all players on the server. The procedure is in "Every tick in hand" and in my world, if someone other than me has a weapon, and I try to reload, the other player's weapon also reloads.
Yes, I know. You need to synchronize it with the server-side. If you're using recent versions of MCreator, I recommend using the Nerdy Network Packets plugin. If you're using an older version, create a player persistent data boolean variable and look for an event that's called constantly in client-side. Then set the variable to my 'not-working' procedure block . Then use the variable to check whether the key is pressed. Persistent variables are naturally synched by MCreator.
Geckolib is not integrated into MCreator. You're probably referring to MCreator 2025.2's new animation system, but it has nothing to do with Geckolib.
I'm revamping Nerdy's geckolib plugin, and I could release it now, but it's full of bugs and practically unusable. It won't be long before I get it completely fixed. In my opinion, Geckolib is a very well made library that offers many ways to create animations. It's also essential for creating animatable items like guns
