Hello, I am looking to make some new mobs for a server currently running Forge 1.18.2. I was hoping to model them in Blockbench, export them, and then import the models into MCreator. However some of the things I've found say I need Geckolib, and some don't. Is Geckolib necessary for Forge functionality? Is it necessary for animations to work properly?
Is it possible to export the model from BB as a .java, import it into MCreator, and then build the creature mod, and it function in Forge 1.18.2? Are there special steps needed to get entity mods functioning in forge?
