Xtranims - A CPM Addon
by Minecomedy
Xtranims adds animation triggers to Customizable Player Models, the add-on for player model and animation editing, with new trigger types for moon phase, weather, biome and player state.
What it does
Xtranims, for Customizable Player Models, extends what an animation can react to. It adds trigger types that CPM does not include natively: moon phase, weather, potion effects with support for modded effects, biomes with support for modded biomes, player state such as being on fire or invisible, player statistics, health percentage, XP level capped at 100, and the item a player holds, including custom NBT data. An RGB color system is also included.
The add-on is client-side only, so only the client needs it, and it requires Customizable Player Models to run. Players on a server do not need it to see the animations, since other players still show them when they lack the add-on. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and the code is open source under the MIT License. Issues can be reported through the public issue tracker.
Key features
Moon phase triggers
Animations can be bound to the phase of the moon, so a pose or effect plays only on selected nights.
Weather and biome triggers
Weather and biome conditions can start an animation, with biomes from other mods recognized.
Player state and stat triggers
Burning, invisibility, health percentage and XP level, capped at 100, can all drive an animation.
Item holding triggers
Animations react to the item in a player's hand, matching custom NBT data when it is set.
