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.
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. However, you are making it harder on yourself by not using my issue tracker and expecting me to read every comment here to see if anyone is encountering issues every time I release a new version.

Comments
Hi there. Gecko plugin in cooperation with https://mcreator.net/plugin/92152/minecraft-forge-1165-generator-mcreator-20223 urielito's 1.16.5 forge generator breaks all the entities (both geo and java ones). Even without the plugin checked in workspace to work, ALL the entities just stand still and dont move, nor attack. They can just be moved with player walking onto it, knockbacked by hitting, or killed (it makes sounds). The main problem is they don't move nor attack you (if they should). I'm not sure if it just doesnt work with urielito's generator, or also with 1.16.5 generator supported by pylo on <2022.3, but generally 1.16.5 is the problem
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.
Ive been looking at the plugin and I have a few things that would be cool to have, (just suggestions). I use 1.16.5 so ig take it like im saying it for it and the others. there is a If entity (name) is the event/target entity then play the animation "blabla", This is super useful but I think it can be inproved by adding If entity (name) is the event/target entity then event/target entity play the animation "blabla" so that you can play an animation from another entity. Also just adding in automatic attack animations would be really nice, I hope this might be helpful but Im scared of plugin makers they scare me. so uh goodbye... hehh...
The animation procedure event/target entity works like a regular is event/target entity (sub) type of exampleentity so you can already do that by specifying the entity target and its name. Also, 1.16.5 will not be getting any of the currently unsupposed features as I just have no interest in finding the methods that were used in that version since after the next update it will most likely not be getting any new features.
and if I want to add a NON-animated java model, but with the usual creation of objects, I still need to perform the procedure for geckolib, then what should I do?
