Stuck?

If you're stuck on something, here are some common issues and how to fix them.

Can't find what you're looking for? Join our Discord server and ask for help in the #animated-java-support channel.

Make sure you have an Animated Java Rig project open. If you don't, the Animated Java menu won't show up.

I'm getting an error when I try to export my Rig!

Try saving, and restarting Blockbench. If that doesn't work, join our Discord server and ask for help in the #animated-java-support channel.

I can't find the summon function!

Make sure you're using a version of Minecraft newer than 1.19.4. Animated Java uses the item display entities introduced in 1.19.4, and will not work on older versions of Minecraft.

My models are rotated weirdly in-game!

Double check that your Target Minecraft Version is set correctly in your project settings.

If your Target Minecraft Version is properly set, then try summoning the model without any rotation: execute rotated 0 0 run function animated_java:<project_name>/summon.

My textures aren't loading in-game!

Make sure you've reloaded your Resource and Data Packs, and that your textures are in the right Resource Pack.

Check the Minecraft log for any texture loading errors.

Make sure you've reloaded your Resource and Data Packs, and that your models are in the right Resource Pack.
