Blockbench seems to just not let me animate my mobs. And sometimes, they select every single part of the entity. But I want just 1 part for example to be animated! Not the whole entity! I can just move it up, down, to directions, rotate it and uh... That's pretty much it. And I know that's how it's supposed to be but the whole entity is selected in animate when I try to animate just the arm for example. And sometimes is just blocked! Just won't let me animate anything. How can I fix this?
