Key Features
•🧊 Dedicated FA: Player Extension support
•⚔️ Better Combat Compatibility
•🧩 Per-Part Animation Blending
• ༄ Smooth transitions
• And a lot, lot, more!
🟨 Note for first person:
Since FA: Player Extension now adds first person animations it is recommended to either go into Entity Model Features and enable "Prevent first person hand animations" in their config if you experience incompatibilities, or install a mod like Punchy!, that will let you have a broader customization as well.
📦 Versions
| Minecraft | Loaders | Requires | Optional |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.20.1 | Fabric, Forge | EMF + PlayerAnimator | Fabric: Forge Config Api Port (In-game config) |
| 1.21.1 | Fabric, NeoForge | EMF + PlayerAnimator or PAL or both | Fabric: Forge Config Api Port (In-game config) |

This means now you can play Fresh animations player extension with Better Combat!
And pretty much every other resource pack using Entity Model Features (for player animations only) should be compatible with any Player Animator mod
This is an unofficial fork of Mob Player Animator for NeoForge 1.21.1 but focused only in the attempt of making Entity Model Features and every mod that uses Player animator compatible (like Better Combat), the other functions of the original mod have been removed mainly for optimization and performance issues.
