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

Hey there! Many thanks for updating the plugin to 2023.4. I made a creature with Geckolib, but I'm encountering an error every time a hit this creature on land. My game crashes with the following messages:

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "net.minecraft.sounds.SoundEvent.getRange(float)" because the return value of "net.minecraft.core.Holder.value()" is null

It happens only with Geckolib entities and not with MCreator default entities.

I had a problem with the plugin, since the author temporarily left for his own reasons, maybe someone knows how to change the attack speed of an animated object MCreator 2023.2 forge

Please take your time, and focus on life first my guy.

Your work is highly appreciated, and while many have not had the decency to thank you for it, let alone it being free, I hope you know how utterly valuable your work is, helping many to come into this field which have otherwise never have given the learning curve.

I myself am making strides in modding and programming overall because of the resources people like you provide, and I can not begin to express how grateful I am for your dedication to this plugin. I hope more will come to express gratitude and realize how privileged they are to have such a resource available to them, and that this free service is not OWED to them.

Best of luck to your time in service, and to your future endeavors.

Hey there I really like your plugin and I have one bugreport and a suggestion: so first there is a bug in the entity mod element it doesnt say movement speed but sth with dots and _ . thats not a huge problem I just wanted to point that out. :)
My suggestion for the Netx Update youll probably( hopefully) do Is in the animation tab. Is it possible for you to add a bar next to run animation/sprint canimation where one can set a certain movement speed and the sprint animation plays automatically when the entitys movement speed reaches this value. I know its possible to call animations with procedures. but this was just a suggestion you dont have to do anything you already did enough by making this plugin avalable for us thanks:D

Hi, could you add item states support to geckolib or a blockly to change the texture without having to change to another item.

Hey NerdyPuzzle, I think Geckolib for 2023.2 and 2023.3 need to be improved because my model got crashed and was not able to build while using 2023.1 everything was better not crash and smooth playing

This is for 2023.3 Forge 1.20.1 (47.1.0) I was testing out this mod and found an issue with it's AI with them having bad path-finding. The Mob Can't Open, Close, Move indoors if possible. I See them mostly jumping around at the Door, or don't go near the door and go where my players back is against the wall.

I am trying to install this plugin, but it doesn't work.
On "manage plugins" I have info, that it's installed. But in external API in workspace settings, I don't see geckolib :(
Why? I am using proper version.
