About this project

What does Modern Poses add?

Modern Poses

Brings the player movement, off hand and melee combat of modern Minecraft (26.3) to 1.7.10.

Requires: Forge 10.13.4.1614 and UniMixins. Install on both client and server.

Poses

  • Sneaking at 1.5 blocks high, so you fit under slabs
  • Swimming and crawling in 1-block gaps, with modern water movement
  • A low ceiling automatically makes you sneak or crawl
  • The camera and player model follow each pose
  • Gliding pose, for mods that add elytra

Off hand

  • A dedicated inventory slot, including in creative
  • Swap hands with F (rebindable)
  • Items are drawn, used and swung with the correct hand
  • Shields, bows, spears and spyglasses get their modern arm poses when a mod provides those items

Combat

  • Attack charge and attack speed: damage depends on your timing
  • Modern critical hits, sprint attacks, sweeping attacks and knockback
  • Modern damage and speed for swords, axes, pickaxes, shovels and hoes
  • Armor toughness, reworked protection enchantments, and a new Sweeping Edge enchantment
  • Rebalanced Strength, Weakness, Haste and Mining Fatigue
  • Attack indicator, new attack sounds and particles, and modern item tooltips
  • Faster healing on a full hunger bar and modern golden apple effects

Swords no longer block, as in modern versions. Use a shield from another mod instead.

Good to know

  • Swords and tools from other mods get modern stats automatically if they extend the vanilla classes. Weapons with their own attributes have no cooldown unless the mod supports this one.
  • The attack indicator can be set to crosshair, hotbar or off in config/modernposes.cfg.

For mod developers

A public API covers custom pose sizes, pose requests, both hands, arm animation, weapons and armor.
