Watch Animated Textures on Special Blocks

Find Blocks with Active Visual States

The Golden Days Mod Compat Model includes animated textures on certain special blocks. These animations play when the blocks are in specific states or when you're viewing them.

1. Look for blocks like the Wither Frame or Evil Frame in your world

2. Place or find these blocks in an active or filled state

3. Watch their textures—they should animate smoothly, showing movement or visual effects that cycle over time

Appreciate the Retro Animation Style

These animations are designed to match the classic Golden Days visual style, using limited color palettes and simple frame-by-frame movement rather than modern particle effects. The animations help these special blocks feel alive and thematic without breaking immersion.

Animated blocks are particularly effective in:

  • Magical or mystical structures
  • Nether-themed builds
  • Decorative displays
  • Ritual or altar areas

The animations loop continuously, so they provide constant visual interest to your builds while maintaining the retro aesthetic throughout your modded world.
