EMF Compat: Create

by stradat

EMF Compat: Create lets Create's animations play correctly on animated EMF player models, and it works as a small client-side addition to the Entity Model Features setup.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient-side onlyGNU General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.20.1 – 26.2

What it does

Create contraptions, the Skyhook hanging pose and rope or chain riding can now render on an EMF player model. The expression and idle motion of the character keep playing while the hang model is shown, rather than freezing or being swapped for the vanilla pose. The engineer's logistics hat returns to the top of the head, and with Fresh Animations installed, sinking in the neck and the hanging pose beside animals on villagers and zombies are handled as well. Holding a handle in Create Aeronautics keeps the hands gripping it while the body moves, and grabbed physics objects from Sable: Ragdolls are gripped by the model.

The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and it is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. Builds cover 1.20.1 – 26.2 across five release versions, and the latest files target 2.1.0 for 26.2 on Fabric and 1.20.1 on Forge, with NeoForge 2.1.0 for 1.21.1. It needs Create, Create Fly, EMF Compat: Core, [EMF] Entity Model Features, [ETF] Entity Texture Features and Mod Menu, and Fabric API on Fabric. Only the client needs it, so servers run without it, and other players are shown correctly too.

How it compares

Full comparison

Entity Player Compat is client-side only, licensed under the MIT License, and covers Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 26.2, but it is not open source. Jetpack craft needs the server, with the client optional, uses a custom license and covers Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.19 – 1.21.3. Animated Loading Screen is also open source under the zlib License and client-side only, but it is a loading screen rather than a player-model compatibility layer.

Questions

Does EMF Compat: Create need to be installed on the server?

No. Players add it to their own game, and a server needs no copy.

Which dependencies must be installed with it?

Create, Create Fly, EMF Compat: Core, [EMF] Entity Model Features, [ETF] Entity Texture Features, Mod Menu and, on Fabric, Fabric API are required.

Do Jetpack flight animations need Fresh Animations?

Yes. Jetpack flight from Create Cosmonautics and Create Stuff 'N Additions plays only when Fresh Animations is installed.

What the author says

A small client-side mod that makes Create — and many of its add-ons — work correctly with Entity Model Features models. Tested with Fresh Animations, Fresh Animations: Player Extension and Detailed Animations but it should work with any animation resource pack.
