I'm assuming you're talking about Animated Java. It exports the model as a resource pack and data pack. It allows you to summon the model as several Item Display Entities, all riding each other, and handles all the hard work of rotation and such for any animations you made.

It's very powerful but you need to know how to interface with it in-game, as what gets summoned with the data pack is only the item displays--not a mob, no health, etc. So if you want it to be a boss, you'd need to handle it's movement AI, health, hitbox, etc. n any number of ways

If you want to learn how to use Animated Java, I'd recommend their documentation and/or Discord

dang ok

so i can make a model in blockbench and then animate it

that will create the model for the mob + animations

[tired notch]

[desert jewel]

[storm marten]

Hm I wonder which option you select if you want to make an Animated Java model 🤔

[desert jewel]

xD

sorry

i was blind

[storm marten]

Probably

Like I said, I recommend their documentation and/or Discord.

I’d recommend the documentation, I was unable to find any decent, recent tutorials.

If you're using minecraft 1.20.4, I do have a datapack that assists with making custom mobs using Animated Java:

But you do have to know how to set up the model itself using blockbench and export that into a datapack.
