Not Enough Animations: EMF Compat
A small client-side mod that pauses Entity Model Features player animations while Not Enough Animations is active.
Tested with Fresh Animations: Player Extension and Detailed Animations but it should work with any player animation resource pack.

Compatibility
- Freecam — when the camera is detached, the compat layer keeps capturing and restoring poses so animations stay correct.
- First Person Model — when FPM is installed and enabled, pose capture and restoration are not skipped in first person, so NEA animations still apply to the visible body.
