EMF Compat: Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks

by stradat

EMF Compat: Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks is a client-side compatibility patch that lets Iron's Spells casting poses work with animated EMF player models.

ForgeNeoForgeClient-side onlyGNU General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.20.1 – 1.21.1

What it does

When a player casts a spell, the casting pose from Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks is shown on the EMF-animated player model rather than being replaced by the resource-pack animation. Without spellcasting, the resource-pack animation keeps its idle arm motion, while the head, body and legs stay under EMF's control. Other players in the same session also see the casting poses of everyone who casts.

The mod is a small client-side addition that supports most player animation packs built on EMF. Player Extension and Detailed Animations were tested with it, and Fresh Animations is listed as compatible. It needs EMF Compat: Core and Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks, and it is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, with the source code and issue tracker public.

Key features

  1. Casting poses on animated models

    Spell casting poses remain visible on EMF player models instead of being replaced by the resource-pack animation.

  2. Idle arms kept during casting

    Resource-pack arm motion continues outside of spellcasting, while the head, body and legs stay under EMF control.

  3. Casts visible to other players

    Casting poses are shown to other players in the session, so everyone's spells look the same on screen.

  4. Resource pack support

    Works with most player animation packs that use EMF, with Fresh Animations and Detailed Animations listed as tested.

What the author says

A small client-side mod that makes Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks casting poses work correctly with Entity Model Features player models. Tested with Fresh Animations: Player Extension and Detailed Animations but it should work with any player animation resource pack.
