About the plugin

GeckoLib support for MCreator is back! Now more powerful than ever, GeckoLib allows you to animate your entity, block, armor and item models using smooth keyframe animations made with blockbench. This plugin implements an easy to use method of applying those animations and models in only a few simple steps!

Comments

After updating the plugin to the latest version, i can no longer open my workspace (forge 1.20.1)
Mcreator behaves as if the plugin is unable to be loaded, despite claiming it to be fully loaded.
Prior to updating i also could not import new armor models.

Useful as ever! Really getting into sine waves, it's amazing how much more polish some decent animations add to something. Keep up the good work!

is not impossible to make animated block 2024.3 is not work

emmm why I cant make animated block when I update mcr and GeckoLib into 2024.3? T-T

How to make geckolib entity spawn in biomes from other mods? (I can't find the biome tags in the geckolib entity)

As said by Logger28, I have the same issue. Animated blocks are just impossible to get for some reason...

Hey Nerdy, great plugin, I've been using it for ages now to make my adventure maps. I'm just experiencing 1 issue and I'm not quite sure if it's Mcreator issue or the plugin's but I am fully unable to create new animated blocks, I can make everything else. Entities, items, etc but just not block. For example when I click 'Create animated block" the UI pops up and then when I enter the name of the block (And yes I did type it correctly using recommended wordage) and then when I click create new the creation of the block doesn't pop up, in fact nothing new is created in the workspace itself in Mcreator. If you know how to fix it please comment here!
thank you

Hey Nerdy! I program a lot of mods using your plugins, and I couldn't help but notice that something was missing here. You have added the procedure block for changing entity textures, but you have not added it for glowing textures. If I wanted to change the color of a glowing texture, what would I do? Thanks for your understanding, I'm sure the next updates will only improve ;)

I followed the tutorial and my item model wouldnt load at all, i feel like i tried everything, yet i know if i had it would have loaded already, i use v5.8.5 if there is any diffrences

Hello, I have some issues with animation items now. When I use geckolib5.66 to create 1.19.2 animation items and save them, there are errors such as missing symbols in Animatedfactory.java. Now, when I open my previous workspace and try to save them again, animation items that can be used normally without any errors still report errors. I don't know if this is a bug or if it's my fault. Please tell me the solution. Thank you

Why was the animated armour tick trigger removed? Is there another way to still do it?

This version 2024.3 is completely broken, trying to create an entity corrupts the workspace

When testing in MCreator, the animation runs normally, but after exporting the module, some animations do not run anymore
