Description

Bring your character to life.

Wake up in a new world, stretch after a quiet moment, inspect a treasured find and settle beside a campfire. RPG Animations adds expressive movement to everyday Minecraft adventures, with animations that nearby players can see too.

Minecraft 26.3 and 1.21.1 · NeoForge

A little more life in every action

  • Wake up and wind down: cinematic waking, blinking, eye rubbing, climbing into bed and getting back up.
  • Adventure in motion: walking, sprinting, swimming, climbing, landing, riding and elytra flight.
  • Make every action count: weapon swings, tool use, fishing, eating, item pickup and dropping.
  • Appreciate your discoveries: different inspection animations for blocks, tools, weapons and special items.
  • React to the world: shield your eyes from sunlight and rain, warm your hands, shake off water and react to heat and cold.
  • Express yourself: wave, nod, bow, beckon, point and give thanks, with idle stretches and typing gestures.
  • Everyday details: equipment adjustments, workstation gestures and distinct container interactions.
  • Share the moment: multiplayer animations and optional inventory, book and backpack previews.

Installation

Choose the JAR matching your Minecraft version:

Minecraft NeoForge Java Mod Version
26.3 26.3.0.76 25 1.0.0
1.21.1 21.1.259 21 1.0.0

Place the matching JAR in your instance's mods folder. Use the same build on the server and all participating clients. Singleplayer works too.

Make it yours

Open Mods > RPG Animations > Config to toggle individual animations, enable reduced motion and choose animation priorities. Per-action settings let Punchy and Better Combat handle overlapping actions while RPG Animations remains available for others.

Inventory and book previews are opt-in: enabling sharing lets nearby players see those contents. Chat messages and desktop images are not shared.

Command Action
/rpganimation menu Open the gesture menu
/rpganimation preview Replay the wake-up animation
/rpganimation skip Stop the wake-up animation

Compatible Mods

RPG Animations works on its own and lets other animation mods take priority for the actions they cover. Verification varies by feature and setup.

This is my first ever mod. Just a new developer experimenting with ideas, learning as I go, and seeing what I can create. No limits, just curiosity, creativity, and a lot of trial and error. Who knows what I'll make next?
