The Animated Items Resource Pack is a comprehensive visual upgrade that breathes life into the static icons in your inventory and hotbar. Covering 46 vanilla items (and counting), this pack uses subtle, high-quality “flipbook” animations to make magical items pulse, liquids flow, and metals glimmer.
Unlike many other animation packs, this one is designed to be highly compatible with modern Minecraft. While many advanced packs require OptiFine or CIT Resewn, this pack primarily uses the native .mcmeta animation system, meaning it works flawlessly in 1.18 through 1.21.x with minimal setup.

The pack has been updated through several versions, adding more life to the game’s newest items:
