CNPC+ Gecko Addon
by KAMKEEL
CNPC+ Gecko Addon brings GeckoLib animated models and custom animation files into CustomNPC+ NPCs, so a non-player character can use a Blockbench model with its own animation set.
What it does
Players and server owners can attach a GeckoLib model to a custom entity in CustomNPC+. The model is a JSON file placed in the models folder of the Minecraft directory, and each animation is a separate JSON file in the animations folder. After a model is selected on a GeoModel entity, an Animation Selector in the CustomNPC+ display menu lists the animations it contains, and a Model Animations button in the bottom right opens it.
The addon is listed under the Library category and also covers Game mechanics, Mobs, Adventure and Optimization. Textures for a mob may need a fix, either by entering a URL to a raw file or by repairing the modpack, and some models show visual misalignment that the author describes as a known requirement. Animation calling can be scripted, and models and animations are synced between client and server. It is published for Forge and runs on client and server, so both sides need it. Files exist for 1.7.10 only, with version 1.3 as the latest, and the project is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Public source code and an issue tracker are linked.
Key features
GeckoLib model support
Blockbench models load into CustomNPC+ entities as custom GeoModel mobs with their own animations.
Animation selection
A menu in the CustomNPC+ display page picks which animation file plays on a given model.
Scripted animation calls
Scripts can trigger a named animation, so an NPC can react to events during play.
Dark mode resource pack
An optional resource pack gives CustomNPC+ GUIs a dark variant, with backported screens from the original mod.
