Player animator; geckolib animations

[dire nebula]

I have a simple one as an example, like so.

{
  "format_version": "1.8.0",
  "animations": {
    "animation.model.new": {
      "animation_length": 0.5,
      "bones": {
        "LeftLeg": {
          "rotation": {
            "0.0": {
              "vector": [0, 0, 0]
            },
            "0.5": {
              "vector": [-132.5, 0, 0]
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}```

again, super sorry for the simple question.

I followed the example setup and the waving.json works perfectly.

GeckoLib format is supported, but molang is not

[dire nebula]

Oh, sorry, I didn't know this was molang. I used the geckolib plugin and exported the animation that way if that makes sense.

[slim cypress]

The format, geckolib uses is a form of bedrock animation
molang is an extension of that, where you can use functions as position values (rotation: [sin(t), cos(t), 0]) (not exactly)

[slim cypress]

This is still supported

[dire nebula]

Oh dang, so I'm kinda out of luck?

[dire nebula]

Oh fantastic, sorry!

I know I am probably coming off as annoying, just found out about this github quite a while ago and decided to look into it, it looks perfect.

how exactly would I get it to 'work' in game then?

[slim cypress]

https://github.com/KosmX/minecraftPlayerAnimator
The readme details some of that, and there are some examples

Simply put the animation in the correct folder (in assets), and use that

However you can't just play it (collision handling with other mods)

Animation stored in a priority list

The animation with the highest priority will be player,
If the highest priority one is inactive, the program evaluate a lower priority one

vanilla animations has the lowest possible priority

register a layer, and insert an animation what you want to play

[dire nebula]

I have the mixins set up exactly like in the example mod for fabric; the waving works perfect when I right click with paper.

[slim cypress]

The serializer in the library will recognize your format, hopefully it won't cause any trouble

[dire nebula]

Awesome; so I have the json file in player_animation, in assets->(mymodid)->player_animation

do I rename it to something like waving.animation.json and then reflect that in the PlayerAnimationExample class?

[slim cypress]

yes.
Be careful, the in-game id is not the filename but the animation id

[dire nebula]

so essentially this?

[slim cypress]

you don't have to rename the json

animation json names are completely ignored, as long as they end with .json

[dire nebula]

cool!

[slim cypress]

that will be the id
i'm not sure if . (dot) is a valid character

[dire nebula]

Wonderful, i'll change it to something less weird.

it works, thank you so much.

[slim cypress]

it has to be a valid MC Identifier
