Help Needed: Make My Custom Mob Eat Golden Apples Like a Player

Hi everyone!

I’m working on a Minecraft mod in MCreator and I want to create a custom mob that eats a golden apple when its health is low, but I want it to look exactly like a real player eating, meaning:

• The mob should hold the golden apple in its hand,
• The eating animation should play (hand-to-mouth movement),
• The particle effects should appear, just like when a player eats an apple,
• The eating sound (crunch) should play,
• After eating, the mob should heal and get the golden apple effects (regeneration, absorption).

I’ve tried basic procedures to heal the mob when health is low, but I don’t know how to combine animations, particles, and sounds like a real player.

I’m using MCreator 2024.4 with standard mob models (not GeckoLib), and I’d appreciate step-by-step instructions or an example procedure.

Thanks in advance for any help!
