Lios Player Animator Api
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
Lio's Player Animator API
This mod is a fork of Zigy'sPlayerAnimatorAPI, modified for use in the AnimationJS mod to provide server-side animations in Minecraft via commands or Java implementation.
More information on Zigy's wiki page.
Features
- Optional LioLib Compatibility: This version has an optional dependency with LioLib, a Geckolib 4 fork allowing Geckolib animations to be played on the player including being able to render extra bones.
- Multi-Loader API Built-in: Incorporates Zigy's multi-loader API features, enabling seamless integration with other mods.
- Server-Side Animations: Enables triggerable server-side animations, adding a new dimension to gameplay and enhancing player immersion.
