Hostile mobs dig out of the ground or poof into existence when they spawn!

Which Spawn Animations release matches 26.2-pre-5?
Spawn Animations 1.11.5+mod targets 1.17, 1.17.1-pre1, 1.17.1-pre2 with Fabric, NeoForge, Quilt. Installation on the client is optional. Installation on the dedicated server is optional. 1 required mod needs a matching file.
Where it goes
Is Spawn Animations required on the client, server, or both?
Installation on the client is optional. Installation on the dedicated server is optional.
The source marks this as usable on both the client and server.
What else does Spawn Animations 1.11.5+mod need?
1.11.5+mod on 26.2-pre-5. Every mod below is checked against that same setup.
Install Quilted Fabric API (QFAPI) / Quilt Standard Libraries (QSL), Fabric API first, but 1 required mod has no matching file for this setup. Do not mix loader builds to force a match.
We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.
