Comments

I tried to create my animated mob through the geckolib plugin, I did everything according to the official guide. I made a model, texture, animations, uploaded everything, set up the mob, wrote down the names of all the animations. When I go to minecraft it gives me an error: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException: null

The plugin clearly works. You guys just have absolutely no idea what you're doing. Instead of complaining take the time to actually read the tutorial instead of leaving rude comments towards the developer.

This is awesome, I’m actually currently using this plugin to make my own mod! :D
It’s gonna be a cross between MineFantasy and TinkersConstruct for 1.18.2, and to that end…

I would like to make a request that you make an animated tools object type, because as it stands now I’m having to use the animated items object type which as you can probably guess isn’t the most ideal solution (I still don’t even fully know how I’m gonna make the game recognize them as tools yet…) so a new animated tools object type would be greatly appreciated!

hello nerdypuzzle, is there any way to stop/override returned animation on animated entities? Like stop current animation and immediately play another animation

Hello author, I would like to take one texture from this plugin, but I don’t know how, please (can you help me get the texture, model and animation). I'm just making my first mod and it's very difficult for me to draw, animate and write a procedure, can you help? (Sorry for my English, I translated via Google Translate, I'm from Ukraine)

So it gives me an error everytime i try to run it. clearly there is a problem with the 2023.3 4.9.2 of geckolip, since so many people is also having the same problem as i am, i suggest you look into it and find a solution for us.
