I need to install the MCprep addon for Minecraft animating, but when i try to turn it on, i get this error:

What steps are needed to produce the bug?

1. Download Blender 2.7 there: https://download.blender.org/release/Blender2.70/ (the lowest .exe file)
2. Download MCprep 3.6.1
3. In Blender, go to File/User Preferencer/Addons, click Install from file, choose the MCprep zip file.
4. On the left sidebar in Addons click on User and mark the box in Object: MCprep.
5. You might get the error.

What version of MCprep are you using?

MCprep 3.6.1

What version of Blender are you using?

Blender 2.7

Mcprep 3.6 doesn't support Blender 2.7

Download Mcprep 3.4.3 or 3.2.4 instead

Blender 2.7 support hasn't been in MCprep since 2020, and the last versions of 2.7X we supported (2.78 and 2.79) were dropped in 2023. The syntax error is due to us using Python type annotations in MCprep now, which were added in Python 3.7 (which was not shipped with Blender until Blender 2.8).

I downloaded 3.4.3, when i marked the box i got this:

Since you're on 2.70, 3.4.3 won't work either (that only goes as far back as 2.78). You'll need 3.2.4 for Blender 2.70 support
