AnimationPlus Resource Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on AnimationPlus after importing it?
Open Settings, go to Global Resources, and activate AnimationPlus to use it in every world. To use it in only one world, edit that world, open Resource Packs, and activate it there instead.
Which mobs get new animations?
Villager, Pillager, Vindicator, Evoker, Wandering Trader, Pig, Sheep, Cow, Chicken, Iron Golem, Ravager, Zombie, Zombie Villager, Enderman, Skeleton, Spider, Creeper, Witch, Wolf, Cat, Llama, Husk, Stray, Zombified Piglin, and Parrot. Mobs that are not on this list, such as regular Piglins or Horses, keep their vanilla animations.
What actually changes on the animated mobs?
Movement becomes smoother and more natural, and mobs gain idle details like breathing and looking at you. Small facial features such as noses, eyebrows, and ears also move, while the mobs keep their vanilla look.
Does AnimationPlus change mob behavior or add new items?
No. It is a resource pack, so it only changes how mobs look and move on screen. Their AI, drops, and stats stay vanilla, and the pack adds no new blocks or items.
I activated the pack but mobs still move like vanilla. What's wrong?
First check that the pack appears under Active in Global Resources or the world's Resource Packs, not just under My Packs. If another pack also changes mob models or animations, move AnimationPlus above it so it gets priority, then reload the world.
Does AnimationPlus work with other resource packs?
It works alongside packs that only change blocks, items, or the UI. Packs that change the same mobs' models or animations will conflict. The pack higher in the active list wins, so order them based on which look you want.
Will my friends see the animations when they join my world?
Only if they have the pack too. Add AnimationPlus to the world's Resource Packs rather than only Global Resources, so players who join are offered the pack. If a friend declines it, they will see vanilla animations.
Will AnimationPlus make my game lag?
It adds more detailed animation to common mobs, so low-end devices may notice a drop when many animated mobs are on screen, such as in villages or mob farms. If that happens, use it in fewer worlds or lower your render distance.
Can I remove AnimationPlus without breaking my world?
Yes. It only affects visuals, so deactivating it in Global Resources or the world's Resource Packs returns mobs to their vanilla animations. Your world, mobs, and items are not affected.
Where can I quickly see the animations in action?
Visit a village to see Villagers, Iron Golems, Cats, and farm animals, or wait for a Wandering Trader and its Llamas. At night you can watch Zombies, Skeletons, Spiders, Creepers, and Endermen. Pillager outposts and raids show Pillagers, Vindicators, Evokers, Witches, and Ravagers.
