Antimations
by Yedel
Antimations lets players cancel selected arm-swing animations, such as the swing on air clicks, entity hits or block interactions, on Forge and Ornithe for 1.8.9.
What it does
Each swing type can be switched off on its own, so a player can keep the animation for melee hits while removing the one that plays when clicking air. The options cover air swings, entity hit swings, hurt-only entity swings, block hit and block interact swings, fishing rod swings, creeper ignition swings and the swings of other players seen on screen. Settings are stored in a configuration file and can be changed through OneConfig's interface.
The mod runs on the client alone, so a server does not need to install it and players on a server keep their own choice. OneConfig is required and is bundled inside the mod, so a separate copy is only needed when the bundled one is not wanted. Builds exist for Forge and Ornithe, both targeting 1.8.9, with 4.0.0 as the latest file for each loader, and the code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only.
Key features
Per-swing toggles
Each arm-swing type is listed separately, so one animation can be cancelled without affecting the others.
Air and block swings
Swings triggered by clicking air, hitting a block or interacting with a block can each be removed.
Entity and hurt-only swings
Melee swings can be cancelled entirely, or only when the struck entity is actually hurt.
Other players and fishing
Swings from other players, fishing rod casts and creeper ignition can be switched off in the same settings screen.

Use cases
Combat without the swing
A player who finds the swing distracting during fights can keep hit feedback while removing the air and block swings.
Cleaner screenshots and recordings
Turning off the swings of other players and the local arm motion keeps footage free of extra arm movement.
Who it’s for: Players on 1.8.9 who want control over individual arm animations. The mod is client-side, so it suits single-player and multiplayer clients alike.
