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

i do not see the templates of the plugin(mcreator 2023.1/forge1.18.2)

How would one change the hitbox of a block that has a animation. for example a custom door that you want to change its bounding box to allow passthrough when open

Someone help me, please create a mod on version 1.19.4 with mcreator version 2023.4 and latest plugin update. I get this error

Hey, when using your plugin i noticed it was running two threads through my entity: The server and render thread. NBT Tags don't seem to be synced between them. Is there a way to do this?

Hello, my animations on my armor that are looped keep playing even if tell i tell the procedure not to do so, is there anyway you can fix this?

Is it planned that we can add particles/effects to the animations? how it appears on blockbench

Good afternoon, I apologize for my English, but I can’t figure out the bug.

I use a plugin to animate weapons, but I ran into a problem that when I set the animation of an item when an entity is running, then everything is fine if the running starts when in the hand. But if the player first starts running and then takes an object, but it is invisible in his hand.
I have already tried all possible options and I guess that this is a bug. Could you fix this in future versions? or if this is not a bug then tell me how to do it

This is my attempt to reach out and ask for a plugin or at least an explanation on how to do something. I'm just wondering how doable it would be for a plugin that creates mix-ins that define custom enchantment classes that allow Vanilla enchants on custom items (like changing fire aspect to go on a custom axe or whatever)

Hello, I am trying to use this plugin in version 2023.1 with a genetator plugin for 1.16.5. The problem is that I can't activate the plugin in the external APIs section (it just doesn't appear to activate it). Is there any way to repair it or make it work?

I'm using blockbench to model with the plugin version 3.0.7 while both McCreator (2023.4) and the geckolib plugin (5.4.3) are at their latest version. I followed the instructions step by step but i keep getting tons of errors of the kind "cannot find symbol" and also "package AnimationController does not exist" and "method does not override or "implement a method from a supertype". I've tried to understand why for the last couple of days while browsing for answers but all in vain. My model and my animations should work well, the animations names are the same as they are called in McCreator. I've read that the limbs in blockbench should be named in lowercase and should not have spaces between words so i changed that. I need help.
