Modern Poses
A small library mod that brings modern player movement to 1.7.10 and provides an API for other mods. Paired with "back-to-future", it adds modern mechanics such as the shield, spears and elytra.

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,hotbaroroffinconfig/modernposes.cfg.
For mod developers
A public API covers custom pose sizes, pose requests, both hands, arm animation, weapons and armor.
