Animatium
The all-you-could-want legacy animations mod for modern minecraft versions. Brings back animations from the 1.7/1.8 era and more.
Quick answer
Which Animatium release should I use?
Animatium 4.2.1 targets 26.2 with Fabric. It must be installed on the client. Do not install it on the dedicated server. All 2 required mods have matching files.
Where it goes
Is Animatium required on the client, server, or both?
It must be installed on the client. Do not install it on the dedicated server.
This file is marked client-only.
What else does Animatium 4.2.1 need?
4.2.1. Change the file and its required mods may change too.
Install YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), Fabric API first. We found matching files for this game-version and loader setup. 1 comes through another mod in the chain.
1 extra mod was pulled in by another dependency. Indented rows show who needs each one. We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.
