Not Enough Animations in All the Mods 10

Not Enough Animations is a purely visual mod. It brings animations you normally only see in first person over to the third-person view, and it adjusts some others so they look the way they should. If you play in third person, record yourself, or watch other players on a server, this is the mod that makes characters look much less stiff.^[1]

It started as an expansion for the First-Person Mod, but it works completely on its own. Because everything it does is visual, it is fully compatible with vanilla and third-party servers.^[1]

What it animates

• Eating and drinking.^[1]
• Maps. You can see the map content if your client has been sent the map, by holding it once or seeing it in an item frame.^[1]
• Shield placement. You block where you look, and the body rotates with the head while blocking.^[1]
• Two-handed animations. The offhand item is hidden while you use a bow or crossbow.^[1]
• Boat rowing, so you no longer sit staring at self-moving paddles.^[1]
• Horses, where you now act like you're holding the reins.^[1]
• Looking at a compass or clock. The config file can extend this to more items.^[1]
• Ladder climbing, and a crawling animation that replaces the swimming one when you're out of water.^[1]
• Smooth arm movement and transitions.^[1]

In this pack

This pack ships Not Enough Animations 1.12.4, the NeoForge build for Minecraft 1.21.1. It has been included since All the Mods 10 4.0 or earlier.^[2]

Unverified The sources don't show any progression role for this mod. It adds no items or quests that I can confirm, so treat it as a quality-of-life visual add-on you can use from the start.

Good news: there's nothing to craft to get started with Not Enough Animations. It brings first-person animations over to the third-person view, and the mod's project page describes it as purely visual. It also works on its own, even though it began as an expansion for the First-Person Mod.^[1]

Your first steps

1. Open the in-game config screen through the ModList or ModMenu. Every feature can be switched on or off individually there, so this is where you tune the mod to your taste.^[1]
2. Switch to third person and try the basics: eating and drinking, climbing a ladder, and crawling. Crawling replaces the swimming animation while you're out of water.^[1]
3. Try the combat and ranged animations. When you block with a shield, your body rotates with your head, so you block where you look. While you use a bow or crossbow, the offhand item is hidden.^[1]
4. Hold a map and look at it. You can see the map content if your client has been sent the map, either by holding it once or by seeing it in an item frame.^[1]
5. Take a boat or a horse out. Rowing no longer leaves you staring at self-moving paddles, and on a horse you act like you're holding the reins.^[1]

The mod also adds a compass and clock looking animation. The project page says this is mostly eye candy for the First-Person Mod, and that the config file can extend it to more items. Smooth arm movement and transitions are part of the package too.^[1]

Unverified The sources I have don't show any items, crafting recipes or quests for this mod in this pack, and they don't list this pack's default config values. If you spot changes in your own game, they aren't confirmed here.

Not Enough Animations has no machines, multiblocks, power, fluids or item automation. It is a purely visual mod, so there is nothing to build, wire up or feed. It adds no items or blocks for you to use.^[1]

What it does is bring missing third-person animations into the game, or change existing ones so they look closer to how they appear in first person. Everything is client-side visuals, so it is fully compatible with vanilla and third-party servers.^[1]

What the mod animates

• Eating and drinking.^[1]
• Maps. You can see the map content if your client has been sent the map, by holding it once or seeing it in an item frame.^[1]
• Shield placement. You block where you look instead of where the body is rotated, so the body turns with the head while blocking.^[1]
• Two-handed animations. The offhand item is hidden while you use a bow or crossbow.^[1]
• Boat rowing, so you no longer sit there staring at self-moving paddles.^[1]
• Horses, where you now act like you're holding the reins.^[1]
• Looking at a compass or clock.^[1]
• Ladder and climbing animation.^[1]
• Crawling animation, which replaces the swimming one while you are out of water.^[1]
• Smooth arm movement and transitions.^[1]

The mod was created as an expansion for the First-Person Mod, but it works completely on its own.^[1]

Unverified The mod page says the compass and clock animation can be extended to more items through the config file. This pack has no config files for this mod, so whether that option is available here is unverified.

The pack changelogs only record these version bumps. They don't say what changed inside the mod in each update.^{[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]}

Unverified The mod's own changelogs for the shipped jars aren't stored, so the specific fixes and features in each Not Enough Animations release are unverified here. Check the mod's official release notes if you need that detail.
