Animation Handler
by waggerra
Animation Handler lets a player turn off selected in-game animations on the Forge client, aimed at people who want fewer visual effects.
What it does
The mod targets animations that a player may find distracting or costly to render, and it lets the client disable some of them without changing the game's core behaviour. Only the client needs it, so players install it while servers run without it. Its files are released under the Apache License 2.0, and the code is not open source. Builds cover 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, and the latest Forge file is 1.0.2 for 1.20.6, published on 2025-12-29.
Key features
Disable selected animations
Individual animations can be switched off, which reduces the on-screen motion a player sees during play.
Change settings in real time
Animation options can be adjusted while the game runs, so a player can compare the effect without restarting.
Client-only install
Because only the client loads it, the mod can be added to a player's installation without any server change.
Compatibility

Does Animation Handler need to be installed on a server?
What the author says
Ever thought of disabling some animations? Now you can! Disable Create, Modular Force Field Systems... animations in some clicks. I recommend the usage of Game Menu Mod Option or an alternative for being able to change the config in-game and test in real time.
