Blaze Attack Animation

by Unknowneth

Blaze Attack Animation replaces how blazes fire, giving them a fancier attack animation through a datapack.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalAll rights reserved1.19.4 – 26.3

What it does

The mod ships as a datapack that changes blaze behavior. Blazes gain a new animation when they shoot fireballs, and their attacks look more elaborate than vanilla. The author notes it was inspired by the Mob AI Tweaks mod and built with display entities. Installation needs the server to run the mod, and players on a client without it still join normally. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the latest build, 1.0.1+mod for 26.3, dates from 2026-09-15.

Key features

  1. Fancier blaze attacks

    Blazes play a new attack animation before they fire, replacing the plain vanilla shot.

  2. Fireball animation

    The animation covers the fireballs blazes shoot, changing how each volley appears in play.

  3. Built with display entities

    The effects are assembled from display entities, which the author chose to experiment with.

What the author says

This datapack simply gives blazes a new animation when shooting their fireballs. It now summons them from the side, then top, then side, one by one, then shooting them at the player.
