WobbleFX
by earlystream
WobbleFX is a Fabric client-side mod that makes a hit mob bend, overshoot and settle back in a springy way, instead of snapping through the vanilla hurt animation.
What it does
The effect works on living entities that take damage. Their rendered model briefly bends on impact, overshoots past its neutral pose and then returns to normal. The animation is driven by a damped oscillation system, so the motion reads as a short, elastic reaction rather than random shaking. Configurable options control the timing and strength of the wobble.
The change is visual only. WobbleFX alters the pose of the entity's model for a moment after a hit and leaves physics, knockback, damage and hitboxes untouched. The mod is inspired by cartoonish meme-style wobble animations and is meant to add stylized feedback to combat. It is released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and is open source, with public links to the source code and issue tracker. It requires Fabric API and is published for 1.21.11 only, with the latest Fabric file 1.5.0 dated 2026-04-09.

WobbleFX is a client-side Fabric mod that adds a springy, exaggerated hit wobble effect to entities in Minecraft. When a mob gets hit, its model briefly bends, overshoots, and settles back instead of just snapping through vanilla hurt animation. The effect is inspired by cartoony “meme wobble” motion, but implemented…
