What it does

The port carries the animation overhaul originally created by iwoplaza and GoblinBob into newer versions of the game. Players can press G by default to open the Mo Bends configuration menu and adjust how the animations behave. The original concept, design and animation work belongs to its creators; this port is maintained separately by its own developer.

Only the client needs the mod, so a server does not have to install it and players can join without it. Architectury API is required on both loaders and must be installed alongside Mo' Bends. The mod is released under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are publicly available. Builds exist for Forge and NeoForge across two game versions, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with 5.6.2 as the latest file for each.

Key features

  1. Animation overhaul

    Adds animated poses and movement to the player model, carried over from the original Mo Bends mod.

  2. Configuration menu

    The G key opens a Mo Bends configuration screen for changing the animation settings.

  3. Modpack-friendly

    The author permits use in modpacks and videos that feature the mod, so it can be included without asking first.

  4. Issue reporting

    Problems are tracked on the public GitHub issues page, where reports can include steps to reproduce and logs.
