Animation Vs Player Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I get started with Animation Vs Player Mod?
Craft your first staff using the mod's crafting recipes, then hold it in your off-hand slot. Pick up a compatible block in your main hand and right-click to socket it into the staff and activate its power.
What blocks work in staffs?
Compatible blocks include Grass, Dirt, Stone, Cobblestone, Sand, Oak Log, Oak Planks, Iron, Gold, Diamond, Netherite, TNT, Magma, Campfire, Lightning Rod, Cake, Egg, Dispenser, Grindstone, Crafting Table, and White Wool. Each block creates different effects depending on which staff you use.
Can I use any block in a staff or only certain ones?
Only specific compatible blocks work in staffs. If you try to socket an incompatible block, it won't activate. You can toggle unregistered item sockets with a custom gamerule if you want to experiment with other blocks.
Do different staffs do different things with the same block?
Yes, each staff color produces unique effects when socketed with the same block. Experimenting with different staff and block combinations will reveal different powers and attacks.
How do I remove a block from a staff?
Right-click the staff while holding it to eject the socketed block, or you can place the staff in a crafting grid to retrieve the block.
What are the music discs for?
The mod adds themed music discs like Jazzy Note Blocks, Green's Jam, and Rush E that play the Animation vs Minecraft soundtrack. Place them in a jukebox to enjoy the music while playing.
Can I customize how often I can use staff powers?
Yes, use the custom gamerules to adjust staff cooldown percentages to make powers recharge faster or slower based on your preferred difficulty.
What are the computer blocks used for?
The desktop-themed blocks like Files, Folders, Images, and Minecraft App Icons are purely decorative and don't affect gameplay—use them to build themed structures or decorate your world.
Do I need to hold the staff in a specific hand?
Yes, hold the staff in your off-hand slot (the second hand) and the block you want to socket in your main hand, then right-click to activate.
Which staff should I use for combat?
Each staff works differently with various blocks, so experiment with different color staffs and block combinations to find the combat style that suits you—the guide 'Choose the Right Staff for Your Combat Style' covers this in detail.
