PatPat NH

Sneaking with an empty main hand and right-clicking a living entity plays a pat animation on that entity. When the mod is installed on a server, the pat actions are synced to players nearby, so other people in range see the same animation. Animation textures, sounds and configs can be overridden by resource packs, and the mod handles legacy mapping so that older pack IDs still load.

Resource packs control the animation. Texture paths use the patpat:textures/ namespace, and animation fields such as duration, frame, sound and entities are read from the pack. Pack files must be placed under the configured folder, and an example pack is included to show the expected layout. Modern namespaced IDs are preferred, and entries like minecraft:zombie can be used to target a vanilla mob. The animation is applied only to the target entities a pack lists, so a pack can restrict it to specific mobs, while an entity such as the Ender Dragon is left out unless a pack includes it.
