Bow pulling animations

It would be really helpful if MCreator allowed adding bow pulling animations without having to edit the code. Like in vanilla Minecraft, bows have stages (normal, slightly pulled, medium, fully pulled). Right now you have to go into the code to set the textures, but it’d be much simpler if we could just select them in the item settings.

I am almost certain that I got this to work without custom code at some point, so it is possible, I just don't fully remember how to do it. I think it had something to do with item texture layers, but I don't remember for sure, and I'm not even sure if it is called item texture layers or if that is something else entirely. Hopefully you're able to find a forum post where somebody knows more about how to change item textures in new MCreator versions (just make sure that you look at recent forum topics, because this used to be impossible without custom coding).
