How to Troubleshoot Missing Animations on Mobs

Fixing Common Animation Display Issues

If you notice that your medieval monsters are not showing their custom expressions and body movements, you can follow a few troubleshooting steps to restore the motion system. First, return to the resource pack menu and double-check your pack order. The Darkest Ages Mobs Fresh Animations Resource Pack must be positioned strictly above both the Fresh Animations pack and the Darkest Ages Mobs pack to work as intended.

Next, confirm that you are using a compatible rendering setup, such as OptiFine or the required pair of Entity Model Features and Entity Texture Features, as these are strictly necessary for custom model parts to render in-game. If a specific mob like a Witch is failing to cast spells with animated facial and body gestures, or if flying mobs like Vexes and Allays are missing their active winged animation cycles, try toggling the resource packs off and back on again, ensuring the top-most placement is saved before returning to your gameplay session.
