Death Animations [WIP]

Death Animations gives many mobs a new death sequence in place of the default removal. The list covers undead and common hostiles, villagers and illagers, plus livestock, iron golems, ravagers and endermites. A right click can collect most of the body parts left behind, and those pieces can then be placed in a crafting table or eaten. The author drew the idea from iChun's Mob Dismemberment, and the project is still a work in progress.

The mod is distributed as a data pack and a resource pack rather than a classic loader file. The data pack goes into the world's datapacks folder and the resource pack into the resourcepacks folder, then the resource pack is activated in game. Settings are managed through trigger settings. Files cover Minecraft 1.16 – 1.17.1 across Fabric, Forge and Quilt, and a separate data pack build exists for the data pack route.

Server owners install it, and players can join with or without it. The server must run the mod so that death animations appear, while players may add the resource pack for the visuals. The code is released under the Apache License 2.0 and is open source, and the author publishes its source code and issue tracker.
