- DragonFly also allows texturepacks to change the models of any mod using DragonFly.
- DragonFly uses HalpLibe for texture registration and for HalpLibe's entrypoints
- You can look at the DragonFly Example Mod for help using DragonFly in your project
Supported data types:
DragonFly Allows the use of
- Modern Java Block/Item Models
- Modern Java Block States
- Modern Bedrock Entity Geometries

How to make Entity Animations (in 7.3_03 or above):
Using Animation to Json Converter Plugin from Blockbench Plugin to export json file
once export. you should place Put it under assets//animation folder

// DragonFly.loadEntityAnimations(<modid>, "test")
DragonFly.loadEntityAnimations(<modid>, <animation path>)
