Astral Cruse Lib
by yumcr42
Astral Cruse Lib is a NeoForge library for 1.21.1 that extends how a player's animation model behaves at runtime.
What it does
The library loads animations from simple JSON files and plays them on the player model, including Bedrock-style animation loading. Transitions between animations are smooth, and the rendering of the player can be adjusted. Astral Cruse API depends on this library and builds on the same animation system. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files cover 1.21.1 only, and the library is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license, so it is not open source.
Key features
JSON animation loading
Animations are written as simple JSON files and read at runtime, without changes to the game code.
Runtime animation system
A runtime system drives the player model, so animations can be started, blended and replaced while the game runs.
Advanced player transformations
Custom animations can transform the player model beyond the default poses, including Bedrock-style animation loading.
