for some reason it cant compile: error: package software.bernie.geckolib.renderer does not exist
import software.bernie.geckolib.renderer.GeoEntityRenderer;

this apparently crashes minecraft when trying to create a new world when using the mcreator minecraft while im trying to test my mod , thought you should know about this bug

Hey guys I've used Mcreator for sometime while using Nerdy's GeckoLib Plugin and my models/animations in Blockbench all use smooth keyframes and they actually work even after exporting them to Mcreator, all my mobs would show up in the world with the animations all smooth and working fine, but now for some reason all my smooth animations turn linear in the minecraft world, it's like mcreator doesn't support smooth animations anymore... Does anyone here has a solution or a suggestion, am I doing something wrong?

Plugin error - reason: internal error: ClassNotFoundException: net.mcreator.ui.minecraft.TextureHolder

I'm trying to change my entity's texture but it crashes. "MCreator 2023.4, Generator 1.19.2"

at the end of the logs there's this:

You should make a procedure block similar to the "If entity element ___ then play animation (animation name)" but instead have something like "Play animation (animation name) for Entity Iterator/Event Target Entity" just so there doesn't have to be a huge column of procedure blocks for different specific entities, they could all be in one procedure block instead

im using 2024.1 and trying to make animated armor. but there is no display settings on the options. it always says registry issue when i try to launch the game. any chance to help me?

You are using a json file, all versions have a problem when creating armor when selecting a json item to represent them in the interface. You can work around this by using a 2d icon or editing the generated json file. Here are the steps to do this:

Step 1: create a simple item and select the json file

Step 2: in the generated code there will be a json file generated with the path of the texture and model, open it and copy everything

Step 3: create the geckolib armor leaving the representative icon as 2d

Step 4: edit the armor path code and replace the code with the one you copied previously.

Step 5: do this for the 4 parts of the armor.

Hey uh, in blockbench i'm not getting the geckolib model settings, any idea on how to fix thatt?

Hey there's a problem with 2024.3 that puts the text where the animation file name would be in "play animation to the block at [XYZ]" to a number input instead of a text input.

I keep getting the error "unable to find animation" when I added the animation file with the geckolib model. The animation file is named after the model. Any ideas what could be causing this crash?
