Softbody
by QrunkTeam
Softbody makes blocks, mobs and other entities wobble, squish and bounce in response to movement, impacts and explosions, while keeping the game recognizable.
What it does
The mod replaces rigid motion with procedural animation systems, so entities respond to what happens around them. Smooth wobble, shake and bounce effects play during normal gameplay, and reactive motion follows movement, impacts and explosions. The aim is visual polish and playful physics that make the game feel more animated and energetic without changing its core experience.
Softbody is a client and server mod, so both the server and every player need it. It is available only for Fabric, in two game versions: 1.21.1 and 1.21.2, with 0.1.0 for 1.21.2 as the latest file. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved. Required dependencies must be installed before launching the game.
Key features
Wobble and squish effects
Entities and blocks take on smooth wobble, shake and squish motion that gives the world a softer look.
Reactive impact motion
Movement, impacts and explosions trigger reactive animation, adding a chaotic, dynamic feel to fights and building.
Procedural motion systems
Procedural animation drives how entities move, replacing stiff, rigid motion with fluid expressive motion.
Configurable intensity
Settings let players adjust the effect intensity, so the motion can be dialed up or toned down.
