Sinuous Jointed Motion Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on the mod after installing it?
The mod activates automatically once installed—you'll see smooth animations the next time you load a world. Press G to open the animation settings menu where you can toggle specific features on or off.
Can I use this on servers with other players?
Yes, the mod is entirely client-side, so it works on any multiplayer server without requiring the server to have it installed. Other players will see your smooth animations, and you'll see theirs if they also have the mod.
Why do some of my animations look broken or stiff?
Open the settings menu with G and check that the animation toggles for your desired actions (walking, swimming, combat, etc.) are enabled. If a specific animation still looks wrong, try disabling and re-enabling that toggle.
Do the smooth animations work with armor and cosmetics?
Yes, the mod animates your character model regardless of what armor or cosmetics you're wearing. The bending joints adjust to fit your equipped items.
Which mobs get new animations from this mod?
Hostile mobs like zombies, skeletons, and spiders receive custom motion overhauls that make them move more naturally. Check the mod's feature list or screenshots to see which specific mobs are included.
Can I customize individual limb movements?
Yes, the in-game settings menu (press G) includes limb bending options where you can adjust how different body parts move. You can fine-tune these to match your preferred animation style.
Does this mod affect my FPS or performance?
The mod is optimized to run on the client side with minimal performance impact, but enabling many animation features simultaneously on lower-end systems may cause slight FPS drops. You can disable specific animations in the settings menu to improve performance.
Why don't I see weapon trails or special attack animations?
Make sure the combat animation toggle is enabled in your settings menu (press G). Weapon trails and special attack motions only appear when this feature is turned on.
Will this mod conflict with other animation or cosmetic mods?
The mod may conflict with other mods that modify player or mob animations. If you experience issues, try disabling conflicting mods or check the mod's documentation for known incompatibilities.
How do I reset my animation settings to default?
Open the settings menu with G and look for a reset or default option to restore all animation toggles and limb bending settings to their original state.
