Fresh Animations FAQ

Select it in Options > Resource Packs and move it to the selected list, then confirm. It only changes animations, so no mod loader or extra setup is needed beyond having the pack active.

Make sure the pack is actually in the selected column and sits above any other pack that edits the same entity models. If another pack overrides the same mob files, it will win and the new animations won't show.

It works in vanilla because it's a resource pack, not a mod. Some extra features tied to specific mobs may need the matching add-on packs, but the core animations run without any mods.

The main pack reanimates the vanilla mobs, while add-ons extend or adjust those animations for specific mobs or variants. Load the main pack first and place add-ons above it so they can override correctly.

No, the base pack works on its own. Some optional features and smoother animation behavior are better supported by certain rendering mods, but they aren't required for the pack to function.

Fresh Animations doesn't cover every mob equally, and some entities rely on add-on packs for their animations. Check whether the mob you're looking at is one the pack actually changes before assuming something is broken.

Yes, but load order matters. Put Fresh Animations above packs that don't touch entity models, and below packs you want to take priority for specific mobs.

Fresh Animations is probably overriding the same files. Move the other pack above it in the list, or remove the conflicting pack if the overlap is too large.

It can, because animated models are more demanding than static ones, especially with many mobs on screen. Lowering entity render distance or reducing the number of visible mobs usually helps more than changing the pack itself.

Not through a simple in-game toggle. You'd need to remove or replace that mob's files, or use an add-on pack that changes how that specific mob animates.

Fresh Animations is a resource pack that overhauls Minecraft's entity animations, giving mobs more expressive and believable movement. It keeps the default textures and only changes the models and motion.

It is a resource pack, loaded from the in-game resource pack menu like any other pack. It relies on the custom entity models feature to work.

Load the pack from the in-game resource pack menu. On OptiFine, turn on Video Settings > Quality > Custom Entity Models, or without OptiFine install Entity Model Features and Entity Texture Features and leave their settings at default.

If mobs have blank eyes and no new motion, one of the required mods is missing or another pack is overriding the models. On OptiFine, make sure Custom Entity Models is turned on.

It needs either OptiFine or the Entity Model Features and Entity Texture Features mods, since it runs on the custom entity models feature.

No. It is made for Java Edition and depends on custom entity models, which is an OptiFine or Entity Model Features feature.

It covers most of the vanilla mob roster, including villagers, illagers, farm animals, ocean mobs, nether mobs and end mobs. Mobs like the rabbit, polar bear, panda, warden, wither and ender dragon are listed as coming later.

No, it keeps the default look of the game. Mob textures stay the same and only the models and movement change.

It clashes with other packs that ship their own entity models, since only one set of models can win. Extension packs work if you load them above Fresh Animations.

That is an OptiFine display bug. Close the game and start it again.
