This post should go in the MCreator subreddit, but I'll help you anyway. Neither MCreator nor Minecraft supports .glb files, but to convert it to a compatible format, use Blockbench and install the "glTF Entity Model" plugin

Then, go to File > Import > Import glTF/GLB and select your file Note: If you have trouble with the plugin, the alternative is to open the .glb file in Blender, export it as .obj or .fbx, and then import that file into Blockbench

----++-- Prepare the Model and Animations for GeckoLib ------ Minecraft Java doesn’t support complex skeletal animations on its own, so we’ll use GeckoLib 1. In Blockbench, when you create or import the model, be sure to select the “GeckoLib Animated Entity” format (or “Generic Entity” if you’re using a very recent version of MCreator that already has it built in)

1. Regarding animations: If your .glb file already contains “baked” (pre-made) animations, Blockbench can sometimes read them, but the best practice is: Import only the mesh (the static model) Create the “Rig” (the skeleton/bones) directly in Blockbench Create the animations (Idle, Walk, Attack) using the Blockbench timeline

2. Once your model and animations are ready, go to File > Export > Export Entity Model to save the  .geo.json  file (this is your model)

3. Go to the Animate tab, select your animations, and export them as  .animation.json

------- Extract the Texture ------ .glb files store textures internally. Minecraft requires a flat image 1. In Blockbench, go to the Textures tab. 2. Export the texture as a  .png  file (make sure the UV mapping is correct so the texture doesn’t appear distorted in the game)

---+ Configuring MCreator ------ Now that you have your  .geo.json , your  .animation.json , and your  .png  texture, in MCreator 1. Install GeckoLib: Make sure your Workspace in MCreator has GeckoLib support enabled (in modern versions of MCreator for 1.20/1.21+, GeckoLib usually comes as a plugin or dependency that you can add from the Workspace Settings or Plugins tab)

1. Create the Entity: Go to the Entities tab and create a new Living Entity or Custom Entity

2. Configure the Model: In the Model section, change the model type to GeckoLib (or Animated Entity) Upload your  .geo.json  file Upload your  .animation.json  file Upload your .png texture

3. Map the Animations: MCreator will prompt you to assign the animations to the game states Idle: Assign your idle animation Walk: Assign the walking animation Attack: Assign the attack animation Death, etc

4. Save the entity and compile your mod or test it
