FreshAlex, the creator from New Zealand, focused solely on mobs and did not change any blocks or items. However, you do not have to search for a long time in Minecraft because a single glance at the mobs should be sufficient. The pack can, for the most part, be combined with another texture pack, in order to have both improved textures and animations – but a few of the mobs might not work correctly.įresh Animations supports Minecraft Java versions from 1.14 to 1.17.Initially, it may not be immediately apparent what changes the Fresh Animations texture pack makes. The pack also has an optional addon pack, which adds alternate entity textures/models. The resource pack does require Optifine, so be sure to download that before using this. Not all of the mobs have been overhauled, but more are being added with every update. This mod not only brings the old mobs on par with the new ones, but surpasses them – with lively body movements and even facial expressions. Minecraft’s default animations on many of its classic mobs/animals, while perhaps charming in their simplicity, are starting to show their age – especially in relation to newer mobs added in more recent Minecraft updates. It could be argued that this is how Minecraft should have been all along.

It truly makes the game feel alive and immersive in a way that the default game simply can’t compete with. Rather than changing textures, Fresh Animations instead adds fluid and realistic movements to many of Minecraft’s creatures and animals.

Fresh Animations is frankly one of the most transformative resource packs ever made – all without even changing a single texture. Innovative, however, is precisely what Fresh Animations is: sure, improved animations have been available for years in the form of mods – but never before has this been seen in a resource pack, at least not with the astonishing detail and fluidity that Fresh Animations achieves. It’s rare for a resource pack to be truly innovative – to do something never before seen.
