How to import a .json animation for 3d ITEM in blockbench

I made a model for an item and animation for it using Geckolib. When I exported the files, the animation was saved as a .json file. However, MCreator (I'm using version 2025.3) only supports .java animations. How can I resolve this?

don't use the geckolib plugin for blockbench.

This is probably what you need, it says entity but it should work for items and blocks too,
