I just started using Blockbench recently, and made my first model (and animation for it). I would now like to put that into Minecraft as a mob, but I'm not sure where to start. I tried to start a new entity and then import the model, but that didn't work. What should my next steps be?

It's currently a Generic Model, but from the video it looks like I need that to be a Modded Entity instead. How do I go about converting that?

File > Convert Project
Some stuff might break though (due to differing format restrictions)

Ah, it seems it has. Textures got messed up.
For entities, do they just have one texture for the whole model?

For entities, do they just have one texture for the whole model?
yes
well, that or texture layers or textures for toggleable parts (chests on a llama), but in general one active textures, yes
summer juniper
Gotcha gotcha
I did get the texture fixed
My last (hopefully, if all goes well) is about meshes
north smelt
for meshes you'd need some special render engine/mod, not the "native" one
summer juniper
Oh I see
Yeah I was wondering bc I know vanilla mobs like the warden have em, and I did it for the seal’s tail
Anything you’d recommend for that?
north smelt
the warden doesn't use any meshes 🤔
nothing in the base game uses meshes (entity/block/item model wise at least)
summer juniper
Oh, huh
Then how would I go about doing a flat piece? I had assumed it was a mesh ingame but ig I was wrong
like what it has for its horn things

Update, I got it 
The model is fully converted
