EMF Compat: Take a Seat
by stradat
EMF Compat: Take a Seat is a client-side addon that makes sitting poses from Take a Seat display correctly on animated Entity Model Features player models.
What it does
When a player sits on a block, the sitting pose from Take a Seat normally gets overwritten by a resource-pack animation, so the character keeps its standing animation through the chair. This addon fixes that so the seated pose stays visible, and it applies to other players too, so everyone sits properly on screen. Chestplate, leggings and boots bend with the seated pose, so armour no longer stays upright while the player sits.
The addon needs EMF Compat: Core, Sitting+, Take a Seat!, [EMF] Entity Model Features and [ETF] Entity Texture Features. While the sitting pose runs, the head stays under EMF's control, letting the seated player turn and glance around as usual. Player Extension and Detailed Animations work with player animation resource packs, and the addon is tested with Fresh Animations.
The addon is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and runs on the client alone. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with the latest builds for 26.2 on Fabric, 1.20.1 on Forge and 1.21.1 on NeoForge. Game versions 1.20.1 – 26.2 are covered across five release versions, including 1.21.11 and 26.1.2.
Key features
Sitting poses on animated models
Take a Seat sitting poses work correctly on animated Entity Model Features player models.
Seated armour
Entity Model Features halts its own animations during the Take a Seat sitting pose, which would also turn off facial expressions, so this addon restores them.
Visible poses for everyone
Sitting poses stay visible over a player animation resource pack, and other players see them as well.
Head control while seated
The head stays under EMF's control, so a seated character can still look around.

What the author says
A small client-side mod that makes Take a Seat sitting 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.
