Not Enough Animations Mod FAQ

They are enabled by default once the mod is installed, so no toggle is needed. Just eat or drink while in third-person view to see the up-and-down motion.

Make sure you are actually in third-person view and that the mod is loaded on your client. Animations like eating, rowing, and map holding only show for the player when viewed from outside the body.

Other players see them too, including map holding and eating motions. This works because the mod syncs the animation state rather than rendering it locally only.

The mod hides the off-hand item while you aim with a bow or crossbow, so if it still shows, another mod is likely overriding the arm or item rendering. Check for mods that change first-person or arm models and disable their item-hiding behavior.

Simply sit in a boat and start moving; the hands will row automatically. If nothing happens, another mod may be replacing the boat or player model rendering.

The mod makes maps render flat and readable in your hand, including when you hold maps in both hands. If it looks off, check for mods that alter map rendering or the held-item model.

Yes, the mod supports showing a map in each hand. Both are rendered so you and other players can see them.

It is primarily a client-side rendering mod, so it works on servers without server-side installation. Other players only see your animations if they also have the mod installed.

It only changes animation rendering, so the performance impact is minimal. If you notice drops, check for conflicts with other animation or player-model mods rather than this one alone.

It generally works alongside most mods, but mods that also change player arm, item, or first-person rendering can conflict. If animations look broken, test with only this mod enabled to isolate the cause.

The animations are active by default once the mod is loaded, so there is nothing to toggle on. If you see no change, make sure you are looking at your player in third-person view, since most of these animations only show there.

Eating and drinking animations only appear when you are actually consuming food or a potion, not when you are just holding it. Switch to third-person view and start eating; the up-and-down motion should play automatically.

No, this is a Java Edition mod and it does not run on Bedrock. Bedrock players cannot install it, and there is no equivalent toggle for it in the Bedrock settings.

This is handled automatically by the mod: while you aim a bow or crossbow, the off-hand item is hidden from view. If it still blocks you, check that no other mod is overriding your held-item rendering.

The rowing animation only shows in third-person view, so switch your camera perspective while sitting in the boat. It also requires you to actually be moving the boat with the oars, not just sitting still.

Yes, with this mod the map is rendered realistically so other players see it too, even if you hold a map in each hand. They need the mod installed as well for the rendering to appear correctly on their screen.

The mod adjusts the shield grip so the handle sits closer to the end of the hand, which is intentional and meant to look like a real grip. If it looks wrong, another mod that changes first-person or held-item models is likely conflicting.

It runs on its own as a client-side mod, so no extra animation library is required. Just make sure it matches your game version and mod loader.

It is a lightweight animation mod and normally has a negligible performance impact. If you notice stuttering, test it alongside your other mods, since conflicts with model-changing mods are the usual cause.

Most of these animations are third-person only, so press your perspective key and look at your character. If nothing changes, confirm the mod is actually loaded for your game version and that no other mod is replacing player animations.
