NeoGeckoJS

by MrClockwork

NeoGeckoJS is a NeoForge port that lets KubeJS scripts create animatable blocks, items and armor powered by GeckoLib.

NeoForgeClient and serverCustom license1.21.1

What it does

Scripts written for KubeJS can register blocks, items and armor pieces that play GeckoLib animations. The mod exists to bring that capability to NeoForge for Minecraft 1.21.1, after the original was made for a different loader. Geckolib and KubeJS are both required, and the mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under a custom license and is not open source, though its source code is public.

Key features

  1. Animatable blocks

    Scripted blocks can carry GeckoLib animations, set up from KubeJS instead of Java code.

  2. Animatable items and armor

    Items and armor pieces defined in scripts can play animations when worn or held.

  3. Port of the original scripts

    The original examples and assets work on 1.21.1 with nearly identical behavior, so existing script packs carry over.

Questions

Does NeoGeckoJS need Geckolib and KubeJS?

Yes. Both Geckolib and KubeJS are required dependencies and must be installed alongside NeoGeckoJS.

Does the server need NeoGeckoJS?

Yes. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.

What the author says

Use GeckoLib to create animatable block/item/armor by simply using KubeJS! This mod was originally made for Forge 1.20.1 and had no Modrinth Version, however this both ports and updates the mod for NeoForge 1.21.1 with just about perfect 1:1 replication so any original scripts and assets work almost the same!
