VoxelFX
VoxelFX is a NeoForge library for animating block, item and display entities on the client using keyframes and easing functions.
What it does
Keyframe animations are played on block, item and display entities, with easing functions shaping how values change over time. Each animation is timed against the client's interpolated ticks, so playback stays consistent at any framerate. Animations exist only on the client, so they are meant for visual effects rather than changes to game state.
Because the mod works on the client alone, an effect is triggered by the mod's own code and not by a server packet. The library can also pause, resume, stop and set the speed of VFX entities, and display entities keep saved animations in a world. The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is published for NeoForge for 26.1.2 – 26.2, where version 1.0.0+26.2 is the latest file.
Key features
Keyframe animation
Keyframes and easing functions drive block, item and display entity animations, with a set of playback controls.
Framerate-consistent timing
Playback uses the scaled interpolated ticks of the client, so timing holds steady across different framerates.
Playback controls
VFX entities can be paused, resumed, stopped or given a new playback speed while they run.
Saved animations
Display entities keep their animations when a world is saved and reloaded.

How it compares
Foundry Engine is a NeoForge library under the BSD 3-Clause License that runs on the client or server, with optional server use. Geckolib works on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, is required on the client and under the MIT License, and covers a wider version range. VoxelFX is client-side only and open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.

What the author says
Animate client-side block & item display entities with keyframes, easing functions, and much more! Note: These should be scaled by the context's interpolatedTicks so everything stays consistent with any framerate.
