PlayerAnimator is a powerful Minecraft library mod designed to revolutionize player animations using keyframe-based systems, enabling both modders and players to create fluid, customizable movements without deep coding knowledge16. As a foundational tool, it serves as the backbone for other mods to implement animations—whether for combat, emotes, or unique actions—while maintaining compatibility with Fabric, NeoForge and Forge.
For Players/Modpack Creators: Simply drop the .jar file into your mods folder to enable animation support for mods that depend on it. The library ensures smooth performance, even with multiple animations active.
For Developers: PlayerAnimator offers tools to animate the player model’s six body parts (head, torso, arms, legs) using JSON keyframes created in Blockbench or Blender. It supports transformations like rotation, offset, and bending (via bendy-lib for enhanced flexibility). Developers can prioritize animations (e.g., overriding idle poses with combat moves) and sync them across servers.
