💕 Embrace
The wholesome hug & kiss mod your Minecraft world didn't know it needed
I will not be able to bring Embrace to 1.21.2 - 1.21.6 due to the library used not being available
With that said, I will be looking once I have got 1.21.1 version where I want it, I will eventually start porting it to later version (1.21.7+)
Look, sometimes a chat message just doesn't cut it. You've been mining together for six hours, your friend just took a creeper for you, and all you can type is "ty" ? Nah. Give 'em a hug.
Embrace adds proper animated interactions for Minecraft, where hugs feel like hugs and kisses feel like kisses. Partner, besties, or a whole SMP of chaotic gremlins who somehow still love each other, Embrace has you covered.
What's in store?
Actual Animations (not just emotes!)
Full-body animations powered by the Player Animation Library. Arms wrap. Heads tilt. Bodies lean in. It's the real deal, no floaty T-pose weirdness here.
Consent first, always
Nobody just gets grabbed. Every interaction goes through a two-step handshake:
- Someone sends you a request 💌
- You accept or deny it
- If accepted, the animation plays, and everyone nearby gets to witness the wholesome moment
Because "just ask first" is a beautiful concept.
📏 Auto-Positioning Magic
No more awkward "wait, come closer" moments. When a request is accepted, both players snap into place facing each other so the animation looks chef's kiss every time.
🌐 Made for Playing Together
Embrace only works with another real player, because the whole point is sharing a moment with someone you actually know. Animations sync to everyone nearby so your friends can see the wholesome chaos unfold in real time.
