Adding the Dependency

warning

This guide assumes you are using ForgeGradle7. If you are using an older setup of ForgeGradle6, see the Forge Discord for instructions on upgrading to ForgeGradle7.

Once you've added your GeckoLib version reference, and the maven repository, you can add the dependency.

Adding the dependency

gradle.properties

1. Find the dependencies block in your build.gradle file. If one doesn't exist, create it.
2. Inside the dependencies block, add the below dependency line:

Groovy

implementation minecraft.dependency("software.bernie.geckolib:geckolib-forge-${minecraftVersion}:${geckolibVersion}")

Kotlin

implementation(minecraft.dependency("software.bernie.geckolib:geckolib-forge-${minecraftVersion}:${geckolibVersion}"))

libs.versions.toml

1. Open your libs.versions.toml file (located in the gradle directory at the root of your project)
2. Add a new line in the [libraries] section with the following content:

geckolib = { group = "software.bernie.geckolib", name = "geckolib-forge-1.21.11", version.ref = "geckolib" }

info

Make sure you change 1.21.11 to your intended Minecraft version

3. In your build.gradle file, locate the dependencies block. If one doesn't exist, create it.
4. Inside the dependencies block, add the below dependency line:

Groovy

implementation minecraft.dependency(libs.geckolib)

Kotlin

implementation(minecraft.dependency(libs.geckolib))

Finally

Once you're done, refresh Gradle by opening the Gradle tool window and clicking the refresh button.

And you should be good to go!
