How to create mobs that have models the same size as a player

I want to create mobs that have the same model as a player. The biped model is close, but is actually a bit bigger than a player is and doesn't have the 2nd skin layer except on the head. What I'm looking for is a model that has arm, leg, and head animations like a normal Mcreator biped, is the same size as the player, and can use the same skins.

Has anyone else done something similar?

That's disappointing,

For future people with the same issue, what I did to get a similar effect was compress the model. I started a skin in Blockbench, converted it into a modded entity model, and then moved the legs slightly down, the body and arms slightly into the legs, and the head slightly into the body.

It can't hold items, but it can use full 64x64 player skins (double layer) and can move like a biped. It isn't perfect but it doesn't look that bad either.
