Is Minecraft already starting to feel plain for you? That’s surprising since the games have a lot in store for players. Nevertheless, what you feel is understandable. Simple animations will make you feel bored eventually. And this is something that Minecraft obviously has. Well, what do you know? That’s not the case anymore. The Fresh Animations resource pack is here to rekindle your love for Minecraft once again! Fresh Animations is phenomenal. It makes Minecraft like a whole new game. But why? Keep reading and allow us to share what we know about it. The Fresh Animations texture pack is an update for Minecraft from FreshLX. The purpose of making this falls nothing short of being simple – improving the animations for the mobs. Before this resource pack, the movements of mobs look very jerky and are limited to predictable forward, sideward, and backward movements. With the Fresh Animations pack downloaded and installed, Minecraft becomes a whole new game. Mobs have smarter behaviors since they can now turn around, run or walk without looking jerky, jump, and execute other complex movements. Fresh Animations is still in the beta phase so expect that there’s a lot more coming. At present, it has three available versions. Version 1.0 provides new animations to villager, iron golem, witch, vindicator, evoker, pillager, and ravager mobs. The creeper, zombie, husk, zombie villager, skeleton, wither skeleton, and illusion enjoy new animations with Version 1.1. Download version 1.2 to get new animations for pig, wandering trader, phantom, and blaze.
Featured video:
Minecraft dungeons and Minecraft trailers were the inspiration for the current and future animations, as per the words of the creator. That’s why you might want to watch these again if you want to get an idea of the exciting features cooking up. So, which is better? Vanilla Minecraft or Fresh Animations? Vanilla Minecraft doesn’t stand a chance against Fresh Animations if we talk about animation. As said earlier, Fresh Animations makes the mobs move smarter. This is something that the predictable and jerky animations of Vanilla Minecraft can’t contest. But in terms of texture and graphics, nothing’s really the same. With that being said, don’t expect this resource pack to make Minecraft compare to highly defined computer games. Fresh Animations doesn’t alter the core gameplay. That being said, don’t expect new mechanics from it. No need to worry because it only makes Minecraft feel like a whole new game without altering the features that make it unique from other games. The Fresh Animations Resource pack isn’t demanding on the computer system. With that said, you don’t have to upgrade your gaming PC to enjoy it. However, you will need to install the Optifine game utility for Minecraft. Fresh Animations Resource Pack works with Optifine’s Custom Entities and Random Entity. To save yourself from the hassle of downloading twice, opt to download Optifine-HDU-G8 because older versions might not work with Fresh Animations version 1.2.
Fresh Animations should be compatible with all of these Minecraft versions: 1.20.2 - 1.20.1 - 1.20 - 1.19.4 - 1.19.3 - 1.19.2 - 1.19.1 - 1.19 - 1.18.2 - 1.18.1 - 1.18 - 1.17.1 - 1.17 - 1.16.5 - 1.16.4 - 1.16.3 - 1.16.2 - 1.16.1 - 1.16 - 1.15.2 - 1.15.1 - 1.15

How to install Fresh Animations Resource Pack:
- Most resource packs require Optifine, so be sure to download and install it. – general recommended step for all packs, Optifine is also needed for most shaders

The animation does not work on the wolf and also the wolf looses it’s eyes
SlimeMin
How come I’m getting the 1.8.1 version when I download the 1.20.x link?
Admin
We’ve already replied to a similar question – v1.8.1 in the file name is the resource pack update version, not the Minecraft compatibility version.
56
no mine had the same thing it said NOT COMPADIBLE
Admin
Ignore the message and click “yes”?
invadrx
is this available in fabric?
ben
can you plz make it for 1.20?
CC_3836
The base resource pack works great in 1.19.4, but the add on pack doesn’t work right. The villager’s eyes are white. How do I fix this?
Alex
What do the add-ons do?
Admin
Read the “Important about add-ons” section.
Ebs Fae
Hey I can’t find the addon bit anymore and I need it all my creepers look funny, where do I find it? Am I being dense ? I had to resinstall the game and can only find the base resource pack but I love the addon. Help!
Anon
for me it’s just below the Java Edition links (probably useless since you said “anymore” but hey it’s worth mentioning)
spice
for some reason, it wont let me download 1.19, it only downloads 1.8..?
Admin
If you’re talking about v1.8 in the filename, that’s the resource pack update version, not the Minecraft compatibility version.
man
why do only some animals get the animation while others dont even when fresh animations is the only pack im using
Zay
he has a list of which mobs get animations
Jacob
The mob is extremely cool but I play bedrock Addition and now I’m really sad that it doesn’t work for it:(
Bro
IMPORTANT**** If the eyeballs of animals are acting weird on 1.19 make sure in the resource pack folder you have them listed top to bottom in this order
1) fresh animations
2) Default ( Minecraft resource pack ) THEN
3) The fresh animations add-on.
unknow

Admin

Gotta make sure the addons is below the main files in the load order.
Rythyr
This makes no difference.
SomeMinecrafter

kabaczek

Cassie
I have yet to see what mobs look like but I am dying for how frecking cute the cats and dogs are! So far, love it! Would be awesome if like cows and dogs could have other colors and stuff.
Ken
Same its not working tho
minion309
some of the animations like the skeleton are not working, how do I fix this?
Pilkie
Hello, first off great mod. To my understanding, I followed the install instructions correct, and most mobs work. The only issues I’m seeing is horse armor being a bit odd, and also the Drowned zombies have 2 bodies nestled inside each other.
YahBoiJerry
There is a way to fix this. Just go into the resource pack files and create a copy of the horse.jem file. Rename that copy to horse_armor.jem and put the file in with the rest. This will fix the horse armor problem.
happylexi01
i downloaded the main pack and both add ons but now spiders have 16 legs, i can’t figure out what they do other than make some chickens different and put better legs on spiders. also the one that improves spider legs also gives them 16 legs, i know its nit picky but i would love to see it updated so it only has 8 legs. however everything looks amazing
Tom.The.OLD_m8
1.18.2, the horse armour doesn’t work right with the horse animations. Side note, animations are sick.
kacper ostrowski
it doesent work for me on 1.19 can someone tell me why?
Admin
Have you read the “How to install”, “Important” and “Required settings” sections?
Glitchf0x

Ryan Paul

Warden

Salil

echo
the fox is broken the body is in the ground and the head is looking straight up im using 1.18 with addons
Derp
I am using this on 1.18 but the mobs are invisible. I have optifine, no shaders, no other resource or texture packs, and there doesnt seem for there to be a reason for them to be invisible. Can someone help me out?
n00b
same problem! Anyone know how to sort it out?
Cholo1219
do not use the addons use the resource pack link
.
wow
osjos
when i download the 1.8 one it download the 1.6 and when i download the 1.6 it downloads 1.3, please fix this
Admin
What are you talking about? You are downloading 1.18, not 1.8. v1.6 is the resource pack version, not the Minecraft version.
David Felipe Arévalo Herrán

RandomPerson

Admin
But who said it’s compatible?
MCbuild
i so scared of wandering trader eyes, eyes too like herobrine
Adyen
LEGENDARY PACK, legendary work.
Question tho:
Your animation pack sometimes overwrite SOME custom mob textures and sometimes it doesn’t.
Can you just add animation without changing the custom textures?
Maybe it’s also the other pack maker’s issue.
Ex: Like, Quadral Zombies benefit just fine from your animation while keeping their custom skin.
But let’s say, Copper Golem on Iron Golem (Golems Family) pack and some other mobs can’t be animated while keeping the custom texture.
We gotta either use standard texture with fresh animations or the new texture and lose the animation.
Sorry to trouble you with this, but that Copper Golem piggyback is just too delish to let it slip your attention lol.
Adyen
Another idea that I’m sure you’ve already heard is compatibility with the Villagers Enhanced pack which provides trade tools for villagers.
That one also doesn’t work with Fresh animations. Or at least not on my 1.16.5 and 1.17.1 clients.
blademiss
There is a bug with skeletons if the animation resource pack is turned off and on frequently that makes the skeleton’s torso a solid magenta prism (missing texture).
pax
Man why skeletons body is missing textured?
EndyStar9d9
The texture for the desert profession for the zombie villager has some extra pixels still in it that causes the Desert Zombie Villagers to have a dark green eye,
EndyStar9d9
Desert zombie villagers without hats have one black eye, which should be red.
NightAngel123

bean_boy
Really well done! The little expressions of each mod gives so much more life to the mobs of the various dimensions.
faaad

Admin
We don’t know what you mean, but this pack requires an optifine and won’t work without it.
Huhac
Most of RP needs OptiFine…
And I also use OptiFine when I don’t have RP …
I recommend it :)
Huhac
This looks really good!
