Chefmakes' animation engine
by Chefmakes
Chefmakes' animation engine is a Fabric library that lets other mods play custom animations on player models, and Chefmakes' lawn mowers depends on it.
What it does
The engine was written because a suitable animation library could not be found for the author's own projects, so it was built as a shared base that later mods can register details with through a configuration step. Animations can be kept simple, which suits mods that need light motion rather than a full animation system. The library is for Fabric on Minecraft 1.21.1 only, with 1.0.0 as the only Fabric file, published on 2026-05-04. It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and the code is public while the license is All rights reserved, which means the project is not open source.
