Advanced Animations
A Minecraft modpack based on TaCZ with addons, enhanced animations and Oculus shaders, designed to deliver a more immersive, cinematic and realistic combat experience.
Quick answer
Which Advanced Animations release should I use?
Advanced Animations.zip is a complete pack release for 1.20.1 with Forge 47.4.10. Install it as its own launcher instance. If the creator publishes a separate server file, make sure it names this exact pack release. 23 mods in this pack file.
Pack setup
How should I set up Advanced Animations for players and a server?
Use Advanced Animations.zip as the pack version. Install the pack as its own launcher instance. The creator’s listing does not name a separate server file, so check the release notes before setting up a dedicated server. Do not upload the ordinary client folder blindly.
A pack is a matched client and server setup, not one mod with an install-side label. Keep its release, loader, manifest and overrides together.
These numbers come from the pack file you chose. “Not labelled” means we don’t know which side it belongs on—not that it is safe everywhere. The file count is not a RAM estimate.
What are the server requirements for Advanced Animations?
Advanced Animations.zip. Change the pack release and its contents or setup may change too.
The selected pack release is Advanced Animations.zip. That file is for Minecraft 1.20.1 with Forge 47.4.10. It contains 23 mod projects. The creator’s listing does not name a separate server file. Check their notes before using one, and do not upload an ordinary client folder or rebuild the pack mod by mod. A file count cannot tell us the right RAM, CPU or storage; size the server for the players and world you actually run.
About this project
What kind of pack is Advanced Animations?
This modpack is focused on delivering a highly immersive and modern Minecraft combat experience, combining realistic gunplay, advanced animations, and visual enhancements while staying faithful to the Minecraft universe.
It is built around Timeless and Classics Zero (TaCZ), enhanced with multiple addons, animation improvements, and performance/graphics mods such as Oculus, to push the visual experience far beyond vanilla Minecraft.
The goal of this modpack is simple:
to make combat feel alive, reactive, and cinematic, while keeping the blocky Minecraft identity intact.
Why was this modpack created?
Vanilla Minecraft combat and even basic gun mods often feel static and lacking impact. Weapons feel disconnected from movement, animations feel limited, and immersion breaks quickly during fights.
This modpack was created to solve that problem.
By combining TaCZ with animation-focused mods and visual overhauls, the experience becomes more dynamic, intense, and realistic — especially in PvP, survival, and zombie-style gameplay.
What does this modpack add?

Animation Overhaul
