Reactions
by Tochuuu
With Reactions, player models gain animated facial expressions and an eyelid that blinks and closes one eye while aiming a spyglass.
What it does
Reactions adds dynamic expressions to player models. The face is customized through a vanilla-friendly texture, and the eyelids animate on their own, blinking over time. A character closes one eye realistically while using a spyglass, and the eye size can be adjusted in the configuration.
The mod is a client mod: only the client needs it, and servers may run it for extra features. Reactions is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. It is published for Fabric and NeoForge, with builds covering 1.21.1 – 26.3 and the latest file being 0.9.0 for 26.3 on the beta channel.
Key features
Animated eyelids
Eyelids blink and move on their own, so the face of each player model looks alive without any input.
Spyglass aiming
While a player aims with a spyglass, the character closes one eye, matching how a person squints.
Expressive faces
Player faces show dynamic expressions tied to the character, with a face texture that works with vanilla skins.
Configurable eye size
The configuration screen lets players change the size of the eyes to suit their skin.
