Adding the Dependency

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 "com.geckolib:geckolib-neoforge-${minecraftVersion}:${geckolibVersion}"

Kotlin

implementation("com.geckolib:geckolib-neoforge-${minecraftVersion}:${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 = "com.geckolib", name = "geckolib-neoforge-26.1", version.ref = "geckolib" }

info

Make sure you change 26.1 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 libs.geckolib

Kotlin

implementation(libs.geckolib)

Optional: Interface Injections

GeckoLib provides compile-time interface injections for users of ModDevGradle

If you are using ModDevGradle, it's recommended that you also add the below injection data to your dependencies block:

gradle.properties

Groovy

interfaceInjectionData "com.geckolib:geckolib-neoforge-${minecraftVersion}:${geckolibVersion}"

Kotlin

interfaceInjectionData("com.geckolib:geckolib-neoforge-${minecraftVersion}:${geckolibVersion}")

libs.versions.toml

Groovy

interfaceInjectionData libs.geckolib

Kotlin

interfaceInjectionData(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!
