Awesome! I can't tell you how long I've waited for someone like you to come along! I am not a modder but I have always wanted animations in minecraft to change. Thanks!
How do you use this? Do you have to be a modder to create your own animations? Or can you be a user and install it in the mods folder?
Also, when I put it in the mods folder, it says I have it, but nothing happens.
Awesome mod.
Pugin94, this "mod" dosnt actualy do any thing on its own. its an api, a bunch of files for mod makers to use. this may not sound like anything interesting but it is. take this example
you have "Mod A" and it overrides or replaces files x and z in the minecraft jar, but u also want "Mod B" and it overrides files y and z. this is where u have an issue, because both mods change file z if you install them both then one of the mods will complain because it cannot find the information its after. what the api dose is add "HOOKS". these hooks basicley (from what i can gather) says to the mods "Hey, you want to edit this file? tell me what you want to edit and i execute the code when it is needed". so instead of replacing the file, the api executes or runs the code. the advantage of this is Mod A AND B can both use the same hooks without any problems

Dude. You absolutely HAVE to make a parkour mod with animations. I won't take no for an answer, and not like smart moving. I don't consider smart moving a parkour mod like some people do, because it just helps you get around better. I mean an actual one with rolling, proper wall jumping, momentum etc. It will be extremely awesome, not to mention it will get a lot of downloads (no parkour mods especially with animations out right now).
I am a new modder, and this API is fantastic for me.
I'm using Techne to make my models, (an arm, for example) but I can't use different positions of a already made MC Mob image as a texture.
Can anyone help me?
Also, how do I use the own player's skin?
hello, I have problems with you animationapi, what hapend?

Curse PremiumWe'll see if more people use the API, because it IS fairly complicated for most modders.
Also, when I put it in the mods folder, it says I have it, but nothing happens.
