If you use the Fresh Animations version of AL’s Skeletons Revamped for smoother mob movement, you can still restore traditional vanilla skull expressions without losing the custom animations or clothing.
Layering the Add-On
1. Open Options and enter the Resource Packs menu.
2. Ensure your Fresh Animations base setup and the Fresh Animations version of AL’s Skeletons Revamped are active in the right-hand Selected list.
3. Move OLD Al’s Skeletons Revamped Classic Faces into the Selected column.
4. Use the sorting arrows to push the Classic Faces pack above the Fresh Animations version of AL’s Skeletons Revamped.
5. Click Done to reload your client resources.
Verifying Compatibility in World
Load into a world and locate any standard skeleton, stray, or bogged mob. When layered in the right order, the skeleton will move using the animated rig and wear the revamped outfits from the base pack, while displaying the classic vanilla skull texture on its head. Because this add-on only swaps out the facial textures, you do not need a separate patch to bridge the two packs together.
