Expressive Player Poses Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I start using poses after installing the mod?
Type a pose command in chat like /sit, /lay, /spin, or /crawl to activate a pose on your character. Your character will stay in that pose until you move, jump, or type another command to change it.
Do I need the mod installed on my client to see other players' poses?
No, the mod works server-side so vanilla clients can join and see poses without installing anything. Installing it on your client adds smoother animations and lets you set custom keybinds for faster pose switching.
Can I use poses on a regular vanilla server?
No, the server must have the mod installed to run poses. However, once it's on the server, any player can use poses whether they have the mod installed or not.
How do I set up keybinds so I don't have to type commands?
Install the mod on your client, open your keybind settings, and assign keys to each pose command. This only works if you have the mod installed—vanilla clients must use chat commands.
What happens if I move while posing?
Your character will automatically stand up and exit the pose. You'll need to use the command again to re-enter the pose once you've stopped moving.
Can server admins control who can use poses?
Yes, the mod includes permission nodes so admins can restrict specific poses to certain player groups or disable them entirely using their permission plugin.
Why aren't my poses showing up for other players?
Make sure the server has the mod installed, not just your client. If the server doesn't have it, other players won't see any poses even if you can trigger the commands.
Can multiple players pose together for roleplay scenes?
Yes, all players can use poses simultaneously and see each other's poses in real-time, making it easy to create group roleplay moments like sitting around a campfire.
Do poses work in all dimensions or only the Overworld?
Poses work anywhere in the world across all dimensions, so you can sit, lay, or crawl in the Nether, End, or any custom dimension.
Will this mod cause lag on my server?
The mod is lightweight since it runs server-side with minimal processing. Performance impact is negligible even with many players using poses simultaneously.
