In a future where Minecraft players demand ultimate personalization and immersive experiences, Custom Player Animations steps forward as a visionary mod. Inspired by the 2025 CurseForge ModJam theme "The Future," this mod reimagines player animations not as static relics of the past, but as dynamic, customizable elements that evolve with community creativity.
By overhauling a vast array of vanilla player animations using the Player Animator Library API, it paves the way for a new era of player expression—where animations can be swapped, tweaked, and innovated upon through resource packs and configs.
Imagine a Minecraft world where your character's movements adapt to futuristic sci-fi themes, cyberpunk styles, or even AI-driven procedural animations.
This mod isn't just an update; it's a bridge to the future of player animation modding.
Custom Player Animations replaces and enhances over 50 vanilla player animations, covering everything from basic movements to specialized actions. These are divided into main, overlay, and special categories for seamless integration:
| Category | Animations Included |
|---|---|
| 🟢 Main Animations | Idle standing/sneaking, walking (forward/backward/sneaking), running, turning (left/right/sneaking), creative flying, falling, climbing (forward/backward/sneaking/idle), crawling (forward/backward/idle), swimming (idle/forward/backward/up/down), mounting (minecart/horse/boat), elytra gliding, sleeping, death |
| 🟡 Overlay Animations | Eating, trident throwing, bow drawing, shield blocking, crossbow charging, hand swings for tools (sword/pickaxe/axe/shovel), compatibility hooks for mods |
| 🔴 Special Animations | Up-hand gestures, item swapping |
All animations are designed to feel natural and fluid, blending smoothly with Minecraft's core gameplay while offering a fresh, modern twist.
