Ragdolls
Every mob turns into a physics ragdoll when it dies. No more tipping over and turning red: bodies crumple, tumble down hills, slide across the floor, and fly when you hit them, like the ragdolls in Garry's Mod.
It works on every mob, including players and most modded mobs. The mod reads the model as it's drawn, so it doesn't need code for each mob. Zombies, spiders, cows, chickens, villagers, wolves: each one breaks into its own head, body, arms, legs, tail and wings, joined by joints that bend.
Features
- Real physics: each body part is a solid piece that collides with blocks (including slabs, stairs and fences), slides with friction, and floats in water.
- Keeps its momentum: a mob flies in the direction of the hit that killed it.
- Punch ragdolls: left-click a body to send it flying.
- Explosions: TNT, creepers, beds and end crystals launch bodies. Up close they blow limbs clean off, char bodies black, and leave them smoking.
- Push bodies around: players and mobs shove ragdolls when they walk into them.
- Gear stays on: armor, sheep wool, glowing eyes, capes and shoulder parrots stay attached to the right body part.
- Light on performance: bodies that have stopped moving pause their physics. Bodies sink into the ground after a while, and you can set a maximum number.
Ragdoll styles
Pick a style in the settings, or with /ragdolls style <name>:
| Style | Feel |
|---|---|
| GMod | Classic floppiness. Goes limp the instant it dies. |
| GTA (Euphoria) | Tries to stay standing, stumbles, flails its arms, then collapses. |
| Realistic | Heavy and grippy. Drops where it stands. |
| Skyrim | Everything you kill flies into the sky. |
| Roblox (classic) | Oof. Falls apart into separate pieces. |
| Cartoon | Rubbery and bouncy. |
| Moon | Low gravity, drifts down slowly. |
| Plank | Stiff as a board. Tips over like a statue. |
Or make your own: every setting has a slider, including gravity, joint bend limit, friction, bounciness, knockback, muscles, arm flailing, balance and explosion strength.
Settings
- With Mod Menu installed: Mods → Ragdolls → Configure.
- Without it: type
/ragdolls menu.
Other commands: /ragdolls clear removes all bodies, and /ragdolls toggle turns the mod on or off.
Requirements
- Minecraft 1.21.1, Fabric Loader
- Fabric API
- Mod Menu (optional)
Client-side only. Ragdolls are a visual effect on your screen, so the mod works on any server, including vanilla servers that don't have it installed.
Known limitations
- Items held by mobs (and blocks carried by endermen) disappear when the mob dies.
- Ragdolls don't collide with each other.
- The Ender Dragon keeps its vanilla death animation.
This mod is not affiliated with Garry's Mod, GTA, Skyrim, Roblox, or their developers. The style names describe the kind of physics each one imitates.
