No Idle Animation
Removes the idle hand-moving animation.
This is a very simple Fabric Minecraft mod that removes the player arm swaying animation when idle. With this mod installed, the player's arms will not move and will stay firmly at the player's side.
The mod was developed to be able to take an exact screenshot of the player model without the animation affecting the final result. This makes screenshots of the player model reproducible as there is no randomness involved.
