Humans Mod
Humans Mod, a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.5, adds controllable human-like entities that content creators can pose, script and film.
What it does
The mod adds human-like entities that can be placed in a world and directed for cinematic scenes, roleplay and machinima. Each entity can be made to sit, sleep or follow a path, and a player can possess one to move it with the usual controls and the camera. Dialogues and sequences can be scripted, and facial expressions can be set.
Appearance is handled through a dedicated texture and model selection screen, where an entity can switch between several models and textures. Custom skins can be made from a model, and animations can be built with GeckoLib without altering the model itself. The mod integrates with Replay Mod for recording.
Installation needs Fabric API and Geckolib, both required dependencies. Humans Mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.21.5 with 1.0.1 as the latest build, on the beta channel. The code is covered by a custom license and is not open source.
