iLike2MoveIt - RP

Vanilla mobs mostly stand around like furniture. iLike2Moveit adds the movement they're missing — idle fidgets, sitting, resting, reactions to you — across a whole set of mobs. It's built to run next to Fresh Animations (FA handles the faces, this handles the movement) and takes heavy inspiration from the legendary Actions & Stuff, without being a port of it.

This is a beta and an ongoing project: more mobs, more animations and more polish are on the way.

Wolves & dogs

• Walk, run, sit, look around and turn with real weight.
• Sitting, they follow you with their head instead of spinning the whole body; if you walk behind them they turn to face you with little front-paw steps.
• They lie down to rest during the day and actually sleep at night.
• Tail wags when you get close or when they're watching you.
• You can wake a sleeping dog at night by getting near it.
• Head off on a long trip and come back — they get excited and jump around to greet you.

Cats

• Sitting, lying down, sleeping and a set of random idle animations.
• Eye tracking, so they follow you around the room.

Villagers

• Cool random idle movements, plus falling and offer-item animations.
• Biome-based outfits, with a chance of Refreshed Villagers-style clothing.
• A chance of different skins per biome, and a chance of female villagers.
• Cherry Blossom villagers for mods that add Japanese-style villages.
• Fully compatible with Fresh Animations.

Iron golems

• Idle, random movement, walking and attack animations.

Foxes

• Idle, sit, sleep, jump, run, walk and attack animations.

Chickens

• A new rooster variant, plus extra movement.

Requirements

You need one of these so the game loads the custom models:

• EMF (Entity Model Features) + ETF (Entity Texture Features) — recommended
• or OptiFine

Nothing shows up without one of them.

Optional add-ons (unlock extra features)

• iLike2Moveit mod — villagers holding their trade item in their animated hands, the wolf "welcome back" reaction, and 3D item support. (coming to Modrinth soon)
• VanillaBackport — required for the chicken temperature variants on 1.21.1.
• Weskerson's 3D items — for 3D held items on villagers and foxes (needs the mod, 1.21.1).

Versions

Made and tested on 1.21.1, runs across 1.21.x. More versions may come as it grows.

Thanks

• EMF (Entity Model Features) and ETF (Entity Texture Features) by Traben — the tech that makes any of this possible on Java.
• Fresh Animations — for the reference and for setting the bar this pack builds next to.
• Actions & Stuff — for the inspiration; this project chases that same feeling on Java.

Not affiliated with Fresh Animations or Actions & Stuff — just a fan doing his own thing, with respect and thanks to both.
