Animated Flags
by StarduskMods
Animated Flags, a Fabric decoration mod by StarduskMods, lets players build flag poles and fly flags that wave with a 30-frame animation.
What it does
Flag blocks are placed on top of stackable poles, and each pole can be built to a chosen height. The set covers 25 country flags, including USA, UK, Japan, Germany, France and Brazil, plus 5 solid color flags in black, blue, green, red and white. Flags are selected through a Flag Selector GUI, which lists colors and countries as categories so a flag can be browsed and chosen before it is placed.
The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric only, across three game versions: 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 1.21.4, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.4 as the latest file. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Animated flag cloth
Each flag waves with a smooth animation of 30 frames, so the cloth appears to move in the wind.

Stackable flag poles
Poles can be stacked to build a flag at any height, and a flag sits on top of the pole.
Flag Selector screen
A GUI opened by right-clicking the selector lets a player browse and choose the flag to place.
Simple crafting
The Flag Selector is crafted from 3 sticks and 6 white wool, using a simple recipe that needs no special materials.
