EMF Compat: Core

by stradat

EMF Compat: Core is the shared client library that every EMF Compat addon depends on to keep other mods' player animations visible under Entity Model Features.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient-side onlyGNU General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.20.1 – 26.3

What it does

Animations from other mods can be overridden by the resource-pack model. The addon records the body, arm or head pose before EMF applies its own, then reapplies that recorded pose so the external animation stays on screen. The mod requires [EMF] Entity Model Features, and it is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so the code is open source.

Each EMF Compat addon exposes its settings on a single screen, with one tab per addon, reached through the mod list. The global switch disables every installed addon while keeping each addon's own settings. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, for game versions 1.20.1 – 26.3, with 2.3.1 as the latest build.

Key features

  1. Pose capture and restore

    Before EMF overrides a body, arm or head pose, the library stores it, then reapplies it so external animations remain visible.

  2. Smooth pose transitions

    Poses blend gradually into the resource-pack animation rather than snapping to it in one frame, and armour follows the blend.

  3. Crouch fix

    Stops crouching from sinking the player into the ground or lifting them upward with every attack made from a crouch.

  4. Partial animation override

    Keeps the pack animating while another mod plays its own animation, instead of freezing the entire model.

  5. Global compatibility switch

    A single toggle on the Core tab disables all installed addons at once without erasing their individual settings.

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

No. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing.
