Player Animator is a plugin that allows you to animate the player model using smooth keyframe (json) animations created with blockbench, blender or even by hand. This is done though the help of the playerAnimator library.
Example of a player animation:
How to use:
First, you will need to use blockbench, animate a template player model and extract the .json animation. The animation in the first example is made with blender, but you can use the geckolib plugin in blockbench like I did to make the second example.
Now that you have the animation file, it will need to be placed here:
Once you have placed your animation in the correct folder, you need to make an empty procedure and select the event shown below. The procedure does not need any further inspection.
Now, you are ready to use your animations! All you will need to do is include the procedure block provided by the plugin (and have the playerAnimator library enabled in workspace settings).
Potential issues when using the plugin:
"I can't get the animation parts to work correctly!" -You can find the official bbmodel here
"The game keeps crashing when I try use the animation!" -You either didn't place the file in the right place, or you renamed the animation after exporting it. Don't do that.
"I'm getting a build error!" -You didn't name the SetupAnimations procedure correctly, or your use of the procedure block was simply not accounted for.
"The animation won't play!" -None of the entities in your event are players, therefore it has nothing to play for.

I want to make space mod and I have a dimension called space; but the sky looks bad even though I set the time to be night all the time in the space dimension. Since there is still a moon on the sky. The resion I am telling you this is because you made some of the best MCreator plugins. So culd you please make a MCreator plugin that lets you change the sky (like on a biome or a dimension). Also my mod is on MCreator 2022.2; so I would be happy if you made the plugin for MCreator 2022.2 too.
This doesn't work for me, I've made sure to follow the instructions that you wrote down in this guide but it still doesn't work for me, I double checked everything, the animation doesn't seem to be exported inproperly, nothing is duped so I really don't know where the issue is.
I've looked into it but there doesn't seem to be any documentation for it, and if there was, you'd probably need to make the animations in blender, but I'm no expert in that field.
