What is PlayerAnimator?

PlayerAnimator is a Minecraft library to animate the player while trying to break as few mods as possible.

This port adapts the library to work with Minecraft 1.21.10 (Fabric).

Features

✅ Working

- Complete animation system for player model - Position, rotation, scale, and bend transformations - Animation layers with priority system - JSON animation support (GeckoLib & Emotecraft formats) - First-person animation mode - Item in hand animations - Proper elytra positioning during animations

⚠️ Limitations

- Armor visibility - Smooth body bending not available (no 1.21.10 version) - Animations look less smooth - Body parts don't bend in the middle - Armor visibility - First-person armor visibility may not work correctly

For Players

Just install this mod as a library - it does nothing on its own. Other mods that use PlayerAnimator will enable their animations when this is installed.

For Developers

The API is fully compatible with original PlayerAnimator:

```java // Get player's animation stack AnimationStack stack = PlayerAnimationAccess.getPlayerAnimLayer(player);

// Add animation layer stack.addAnimLayer(new ModifierLayer<>(animation));

// Load animation from JSON AnimationContainer animation = PlayerAnimationRegistry.getAnimation( new Identifier("modid", "animation_name") ); ```

Gradle Setup

```groovy repositories { maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' } }

dependencies { modImplementation "com.github.TOSTcRa:playerAnimator-1.21.10:v2.0.1-1.21.10-unofficial" include "com.github.TOSTcRa:playerAnimator-1.21.10:v2.0.1-1.21.10-unofficial" } ```

Model Structure

Animations use these body parts: - `head` / `body` (whole player) / `torso` (chest) - `rightArm` / `leftArm` / `rightLeg` / `leftLeg`

Place animations in: `assets/modid/player_animation/`
