Frequently asked questions

How do I turn Fresh Animations on?
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.
Why do my mobs look the same after installing Fresh Animations?
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.
Does Fresh Animations work in vanilla Minecraft or only with mods?
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.
What's the difference between Fresh Animations and the add-on packs?
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.
