Nice tutorial! 🔥

[@Linkyplayz]

Thank you so much! I’m really loving the new MCreator tools btw!

[@InvasionAnimation]

Can you make 1.16.5 mod with the new mcreator?

[@alexviol1587]

It's really sad that both this channel and the official Pylo channel don't get the amount of attention that they deserve

Tutorial aside (though it was very good) I like your approach on Minecraft modding by making the mob serve the practical purpose of teaching players about powdered snow. Very thoughtful design

Great tutorial thank you so much! I do have a question, do you know how to give an mob different attack animations and maybe even different damage and effects for each attack animation?

[@nyestedavid9390]

Thank you so much, you saved my brain cells.

[@Linkyplayz]

[@alexviol1587]

It actually makes sense for them to be bigger than a normal Strider. Animals that live in cold areas usually develop thicker skin and drop their metabolism to save up energy which results to excess fat.

[@Linkyplayz]

Well this is Minecraft my friend. A game with floating blocks…

Glad to have found an up-to-date tutorial, do you know if it's possible to have two different idles under certain conditions? been struggling for a while :(

If you have discord, I can DM you an example procedure. 😄

[@SomeGuyWithWifi856]

@@Linkyplayz username is someguywithwifi, right now I just have a variable determine if the entity is in a deactivated state, and give it two different animations work if its active or not

[@SomeGuyWithWifi856]

also one for crouching/crouch walking, I think that one is more important lol

[@SomeGuyWithWifi856]

nvm on this part I think I can just trick it by making it think it's crouching or sprinting

[@LordFinn]

Nice video, nonheless can't find a way to make animated textures :/ They really need to add that in game

[@bitcoin3612]

one more question; how did you make that blinking animation? I switched to forge to be able to add my mob and I too made a variant of the strider; a 2 seat mutant strider. I'd really like to add blinking to my animation so it seems less bland.

[@vilsorce]

you have to animate the texture by giving it more frames. There's tutorials for it everywhere

[@Lenothy]

everytime I open the launcher with a geckolib animated entity it crashes, do you know why?

[@Linkyplayz]

That used to happen with me too, I think it was because a file was in the wrong place, but Geckolib works differently now… so idk

[@Lenothy]

​​​@@Linkyplayzmmh I looked at the comments, sorry I didn't noitche it was a common question, next time I'm going to try what one of the comments suggested: checking Geckolib's version and changing it if it's outdated It was my first time, I am gonna try again now that I understood a bit how it works, I am starting with another model + I exported, saved and imported the same model, textures and animations so many times and also tried to fix stuff like textures by converting models so many times both in Mcreator and Geckolib, in all that mess something must have gone wrong and I wasn't able to fix it because it was too confusing

[@PumpkinManiacReal]

Could you possibly do this for the 2023.3 version i cant get gecolib to work it just keeps crashing

[@Duplicitousthoughtformentity]

Hey, great tutorial - really helped me make heads and tails of the whole thing. I do have a weird problem though - in game, the animations only seem to play for my first spawned entity. The rest of them are just static - do you bychance have any idea why that might be?

[@drakianas779]

I have the same thing, the object does not use animations, but it walks, etc.

[@FR1DGE]

Can you answer on my question? How to add new element(limb) or change texture in mob's animation?

[@blueplayer99]

Is there an alternative for 1.16.5?

[@justmrkoala]

hey sir, this tutorial was good however for some reason the animations of my mob just dindt work under any conditions the idle dindt play the walk dindt play it was just animationless perhaps i can give u the file of the entity and maybe it does work with you please help me

[@yusmi21]

Amazing tutorial, this really helped with a mob I’m making, but do you think you can make a tutorial on animated armor aswell? I’m trying to make admin-only armor for my server but it keeps crashing and I don’t know why.

[@Linkyplayz]

I’ve never made it 🤷‍♂️

[@iiunknownmapperft9779]

I would like a very simple request from you, please, which is to make an tutorial by enlarging or reducing the size of the mob in mcreator 2023 or 2024

How to download this plugin?

Can you share the model that you used in video I can't make animations well

Wow, no hablo ingles, hablo español pero explicas tan bien que pude entender el video XDDDD

[@MultiGame_Universe]

It would be much more cooler if u did an "Making my Mod (Ultra Mobs)" And saying what each mob does, like the Snowy Strider, at least i would watch every single video of it!!!

Hey great tutorial! Just need a bit of help. I followed it entirely with putting in an iceologer model and animations I made and for some reason it just has no animations in-game. Head movement works fine, but I've triple-checked I've put in the right animation names into each slot and enabled the ones I want. But every one I spawn will just slide across the ground towards me. What's the issue?

[@Linkyplayz]

I’m not sure… I stopped modding a bit after this video came out

[@Citrous_Crown]

@@Linkyplayz Ah oh well, thanks anyway!

[@Boshan4ik]

does anyone know why my mob always play idle animation? (walking animation works, but not when the mob is walking)

how did you link the blinking to the animations?
