This resource pack is made possible with an OptiFine feature called custom entity models (CEM) to add new entity models and animations.

_Entity Model Features_ and _Entity Texture Features (EMF & ETF)_ can be used as an alternative to OptiFine.

If you ask a question that's already answered in the spoiler below, I will probably ignore it. <details> <summary>Frequently Asked Questions:</summary>

Is Fresh Animations a mod or datapack?

> Nope, Fresh Animations is just a resource pack! It does require OptiFine features to work, though.

Is there a way to use Fresh Animations without OptiFine?

> Fresh Animations requires OptiFine's Custom Entity Models (CEM) and CEM Animation features to work. > As an alternative to these features, I highly recommend *[Entity Model Features (EMF)](https://modrinth.com/mod/entity-model-features)* and *[Entity Texture Features (ETF)](https://modrinth.com/mod/entitytexturefeatures)*.

When will the next update come out?

> Whenever I feel happy with the new content. Please don't ask for a release date. > For those willing to pay, Golem Tier Ko-fi supporters get updates early.

Why do some mobs have blank eyes and no new animations when I load the resource pack?

> This means either that the required mods aren't being used, or there is a conflict with another mod. > - When using OptiFine make sure you install it correctly, and that Custom Entity Models is enabled. > The required OptiFine settings are: *Video Settings > Quality > Custom Entity Models: ON* > - When using EMF & ETF, it's likely a mod or resource pack conflict. First confirm it is by using only EMF, ETF and FA. > If the issue persists, reset your EMF settings. If it fixes it, try find the conflicting mod. > Otherwise you can ask for help on my Discord server. > - This can also happen with some 3rd party clients.

Is Fresh Animations compatible with *this other resource pack*?

> Probably not completely. Resource packs that only edit textures will probably be fine, but packs with entity models won't work as it would override FA's models and animations. > If a pack doesn't work, there may be an FA patch version available so check the pack's description or look it up on CurseForge or Modrinth.

Is Fresh Animations compatible with *this mod*?

> Some mods have issues with FA. There is a list of these mods on my Discord server, as well as a help channel for reporting and sorting through mod issues. > If you find an issue with a mod, consider reporting it via my Discord server.

Can you add player animations?

> I have started developing a Player Add-on for Fresh Animations, which is currently available on my [Ko-fi](https://ko-fi.com/freshlx) for Golem Tier members. It requires EMF & ETF as OptiFine doesn't support custom players.

Why isn't *this mob* animated? Can you add it?

> Not all the mobs are animated yet. New mobs animations will be added in major updates. > I work and add new animations at my own pace, so please refrain from requesting animations.

Can you make a Bedrock port?

> It's not as simple as porting it. To make a version that would work on Bedrock, I would have to start from scratch and it would end up being completely different. So that's not something I plan to do anytime soon.

Why do some mobs have purple/black textures when I load the resource pack?

> This is an OptiFine bug that can occur when the pack is loaded in. To solve this, you need to exit the game and re-launch it.

The pack is warning me that it's made for another version of Minecraft. Which version should I get?

> Any version of this pack should work mostly as intended in most game versions it's tagged with on CurseForge or Modrinth, as long as there's a version of OptiFine or EMF to run it. Don't worry about the version warning. </details>
