Player Model Overlay - ZigyTheBird/ZigysPlayerAnimatorAPI GitHub Wiki
Allows you to add bones and cubes to the player model in blockbench and animate them!
Builtin example triggered using the command /playPlayerAnimation @p playeranimatorapi:gecko
To do this simply add any bones/cubes you want to the base player model and animate them.
Export the animations and put them in the player_animation folder under the assets folder (Or just use a Blender emote if you want).
Then make sure the player has a transparent texture (Or a second player will get rendered) then export the model, texture and animation (again).
This might help: https://github.com/bernie-g/geckolib/wiki/Making-Your-Models-(Blockbench)#exporting-the-model
Here is where you should put everything:
- Animation:
assets/<namespace>/animations/player_animation/<name>.animation.json - Model:
assets/<namespace>/geo/player_animation/<name>.geo.json - Texture:
assets/<namespace>/textures/player_animation/<name>.png
Caution
Yes it's player_animation not player_animations since this whole system was written before the name change in 1.21.
Important
This feature requires GeckoLib to be installed. (AzureLib for pre-1.21)
If you are familiar with GeckoLib you may find the GeckoControllerRegistry class useful.
For GeckoLib player animations
Add the line "geckoResource": "<namespace>:<name>", for every animation in the file like this:
{
"format_version": "1.8.0",
"animations": {
"anim": {
"geckoResource": "<namespace>:<name>",
"animation_length": 2,
"bones": {
...
}
}
"anim2": {
"geckoResource": "<namespace>:<name>",
"animation_length": 2,
"bones": {
...
}
}
}
}
Of course you can also point each animation to a seperate set of files if you want.
For Blender player animations
Add the line "geckoResource": "<namespace>:<name>", to the animation file just like this:
{
"name": "name",
"author": "Your name",
"description": "description",
"geckoResource": "<namespace>:<name>"
"emote":{
...
}
}
