I want to add a reloading animation to a gun, but I cant seem to find a way to add model animations to items. If anyone knows how, it would be great.
Without code, this can be done however it uses two elements:
1. Create two seperate items - one with a static texture, and one with the animation you wish to play.
2. When you trigger the reload, swap the items out and then swap them back once the animation is complete (animation time cannot be directly detected, but tinkering with a wait time block should work)
how do i apply an animation to an item? (i have a model from blockbench)
You can use the GeckoLib Library, you will find tutorials on how to use it on YouTube, I will link you a Install Guide and First Steps. It lets you add Blockbench animated Items into mcreator and use blocks to play the animations. You are also able to add arm animations. I used the Library for a gun mod and it worked pretty well. Its very Easy to use
