Blockbench Optifine Entities refusing to work

[patent kernel]

So I'm trying to make a resource pack to (for now, just to test and make sure it actually works) give creepers three heads. Again, this is only temporary, I just want it to work so i can try to actually make my project (a custom boss).
I'm using the following tutorials, and trust me: I have gone over these tutorials SO MANY TIMES and redid the entire resource pack from scratch, multiple times, and it simply isn't working.
The actual resource pack is showing up in-game, and I can put it on, but the creeper just doesn't change.
I have the creeper.jem file and creeper.png texture in their correct locations (resource pack > assets > minecraft > optifine > cem > <here>).
Absolutely no idea what is going on- please help... I've been trying to fix this for way too long now...

Tutorials I'm using, if it helps:

The actual resource pack shows up in-game, so all of my syntax, folders, and files must be correct

It's probably something with blockbench and how I'm saving it

^^ That's the creeper.jem file if needed

Are you using OptiFine proper, or a mod that uses OptiFine behavior?

[patent kernel]

No- I'm just using vanilla minecraft without any clients

Anyone...?

[sinful crypt]

Try entity model features and entity texture features , OR use optifine

[patent kernel]

What do you mean by that?

[sinful crypt]

The mods

[patent kernel]

But my entire goal is to do this without downloading any mods or using any mods- is there any way to fix this without mods?

Would I have to download optifine?

[sinful crypt]

Are all creepers meant to be like this or only some

[patent kernel]

Just all, for now, to make sure it works\

Later, if possible, only some (my final goal is to make a custom boss)

[sinful crypt]

For optifine type models you need optifine (or etf and EMF)

[patent kernel]

Ok- but the reason I used optifine entity models is that, I believe, they are the only models you can animate the entity smoothly with?

[sinful crypt]

I'm not sure if that's true

[patent kernel]

Is there another way to animate an entity model (or any other model) without using optifine?

[sinful crypt]

I am also not sure there

[patent kernel]

to be fair I kinda just followed the tutorial

Dang

[sinful crypt]

There probably is though

[patent kernel]

ok

I'll try to find some
