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!

 

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

You converted a bedrock animation which has "keep_mode": "catmullrom" which doesn't work for geckolib. Every part if your animation needs to be changed in the file like this:

"post": {
"vector": [-10, 0, 0]
},
"lerp_mode": "catmullrom"
To:
"vector": [-10, 0, 0]

bro can you see why this specific animation doesn't pick up?

Hi, I followed all the tutorial and all went well but at the last step (when we need to regenerate the code) it continiously does that regenerate code error

Soooo i deleted the procedure to do a new one entirely and the error now says that also the entity itself is the problem, deleted that too and when I tried to make a new procedure / entity the error pops up without me eaven inputting the name in the procedure

Actually, there is no problem. If you actually read the tutorial you will see that I explained the initial entity error is normal. Since you don't seem to know what the regenerate code button is, since you obviously didn't click it, then after making both the entity and the procedure correctly, open the entity and save it which will regenerate its code automatically.

Hey there! Super grateful for publishing this plugin! Tho there's one small issue - i'm not sure if anyone has asked this question yet, but is it possible to remove the following items from the workspace? ss -> https://i.imgur.com/2cqxWm2.png

Hello, I've got another question: Do you believe this could be used to make mods that can be compatible with the Epic Fight mod?

make it for 1.16.5 please i got a one piece mod but i cant update it to 1.18.2 it keeps saying "run in sage mode"

What the heck dude i was waiting for this since 1.15.2 Feder's plugin implementation, this is game changer as someone said below. I really thank you for this, and all of the community probably. I can finally add my custom animations to my mobs, really thanks for this man <3
