Placing the asset files

For GeckoLib to be able to find your files, they need to be put in the correct location.

Once the files have been placed, you will use a GeoModel instance in code to reference them.
See the pages on GeoModels for more information

File Locations​

Model Files​

In GeckoLib5, model files (.geo.json) are placed in the assets/<modid>/geckolib/models/ folder.

Models Folder

You may use subfolders to organize your models, and some GeckoLib features (such as the DefaultedGeoModel classes) will automatically use subfolders.

tip

The .geo portion of the filename is optional.

Animation Files​

In GeckoLib5, animation files (.animation.json) are placed in the assets/<modid>/geckolib/animations/ folder.

Animations Folder

You may use subfolders to organize your animations, and some GeckoLib features (such as the DefaultedGeoModel classes) will automatically use subfolders.

Texture Files​

In GeckoLib5, texture files are placed in the assets/<modid>/textures/ folder, like you would for any other texture.
