Frequently asked questions

Do I need to do anything to start using Punchy FPA after installing it?
No setup required—the mod activates automatically once installed. Your hands and new animations will appear the moment you load a world and pick up any item or weapon.
Why do my hands look weird or disappear sometimes?
Hands only render when you're holding an item, weapon, or tool. If they vanish unexpectedly, check that your held item hasn't been dropped or that you're not in a state where items can't be displayed (like swimming with empty hands).
Can I use Punchy FPA with Better Combat at the same time?
Yes—the mod includes special compatibility support for Better Combat, so both mods' animations and mechanics will work together without conflicts.
Will my custom resource pack textures still work?
Yes, Punchy FPA is fully compatible with custom resource packs and won't override your textures or visual style.
