Nerdy's GeckoLib Plugin [Forge]

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!

The java plugins feature needs to be enabled as this is a java plugin

-This plugin is not maintained or supported by the the creators of  GeckoLib.

If you are experiencing crashes due to broken animation files, then try running the GeckoLib animation fixer windows application on your workspace. (Make sure to have a backup of your animation files just in case and make sure MCreator is not running while using it.)

As I am currently serving in the military, I have little time to test and update the plugin, so expect to encounter bugs. I will eventually fix them, but don't count on a specific timeline. Also, fabric support is currently dropped as I barely have time to maintain just the forge version.
