Make Piglins and Blazes Fight More Naturally
What Changes
This pack updates combat animations for Piglins and Blazes, replacing stiff movements with fluid, lifelike fighting poses. Piglins swing weapons with proper arm motion, and Blazes float and attack with more dynamic behavior.
Seeing the Animations
1. Find or spawn Piglins in a Nether fortress or crimson forest
2. Equip gold armor or hold gold to attract them, then attack
3. Watch their sword and axe swings—they should move smoothly through attack arcs instead of snapping between poses
4. For Blazes, visit a Blaze spawner or Nether fortress
5. Engage them in combat and observe their floating patterns and fireball attacks
Troubleshooting
If animations still look rigid, verify:
- Entity Model Features is installed and enabled
- This pack loads after both Mobs Refreshed and Fresh Animations
- Your game isn't using Optifine (which has limited custom animation support)
- Mobs are actually attacking you (some animations only play during active combat)
The improvements are most noticeable when fighting multiple mobs at once, as you'll see varied attack timings and poses.
