Player Geometry

This tutorial will show you how to create player NPCs and add them into your world. These player NPCs will take vanilla player skins, and come included with walk-animations, attack animations, etc.
This tutorial is a graphical tutorial. Mechanics are not covered.
Note: This will be a very json-heavy document. The json is intended for copy-pasting.
Geometry File
This json contains geometry for both the Steve and Alex versions:

Entity File
Use this entity file if you would like to have animatinos for your geometry. This file includes error-free animations for:
- walking
- looking at player
- idle animation
If you need a more complete set of animations, consider copying the default player RP-entity file, and trying to work with the animations by hand.
