EMF Compat: TACZ
by stradat
EMF Compat: TACZ is a client-side Forge and NeoForge addon that makes gun poses from Timeless and Classics Zero display correctly on Entity Model Features player models.
What it does
Timeless and Classics Zero animates guns on the player model, but Entity Model Features replaces that model with its own rules. This addon keeps the gun poses intact: aiming, reloading and shooting remain readable from a third-person camera, and the head tracks the aim while the rest of the body keeps resource-pack motion. Body and legs stay under Entity Model Features control, so walk and idle animations still play when no gun is held. The poses also apply to other players, so everyone on a server sees the same gun handling.
The addon requires EMF Compat: Core, [EMF] Entity Model Features, [ETF] Entity Texture Features and [TaCZ] Timeless and Classics Zero. It runs on the client only, so servers do not need it, and it is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. Files target 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with the Forge build at 1.0.1 for 1.20.1 and the NeoForge build at 1.0.1 for 1.21.1.
Key features
Gun poses on EMF models
Aiming, reloading and shooting poses from Timeless and Classics Zero stay visible on Entity Model Features player models.
Hands keep the gun
While a gun is held, the arms stay on the weapon instead of swinging empty-handed under a resource-pack idle.
Head follows aim
The head tracks the aim the way Timeless and Classics Zero animates it, while the rest of the body keeps resource-pack motion.
Visible to other players
Other players on the same server show the gun poses too, so held weapons look the same for everyone.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who combine Timeless and Classics Zero with Entity Model Features or a player animation resource pack. The addon is for the client; servers without it still run normally.
How it compares
TaCZ Structure Loot is an MIT-licensed mod for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 where the server is required and the client is optional, so it does not touch player models. [TACZ] Arm Stamina runs on client and server, is licensed as All rights reserved and is not open source. Bullerproof Armor System Mod is open source under the MIT License, runs on client and server, and covers the same 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 range.

What the author says
A small client-side mod that makes Timeless and Classics Zero gun 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.
