What it does

Incandescent Lib gives other mods a lightweight interface for entity player animations, together with some included utility code. It takes the keyframe animation system that Minecraft added as its basis, which keeps it compatible with other animation libraries. Pyromancer: Reignited requires it. Both client and server need the library, and the source code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so the code is open source. Usage details are documented in the source code.

Key features

  1. Entity player animations

    Provides an API for playing animations on entities and player models, for mods that need them.

  2. Keyframe-based design

    Builds on the keyframe animation system of vanilla Minecraft, rather than a separate format.

  3. Included utilities

    Ships with supporting utility code alongside the animation API, documented in the source code.
