About the Pack
This resource pack introduces custom entity models (CEM) and animations, combining all my experience and countless hours of work to bring dynamic and interactive entities to life in Minecraft. The result is a more immersive experience, with entities that feel truly alive and responsive.
Currently, the pack is being developed as an addon for Alacrity until more feature complete and will likely then be released as a standalone default MC style version.

- Detailed CEM model
- Bells have a natural sway in the wind
- Realistic ringing animation

Credits
The texture work is primarily derived from the Satellence and Alacrity pack addons.
A special thanks to Fresh Animations for their foundational work:
- The initial chest structure served as a valuable starting point for the animation (though it has since been completely reworked, I wanted to acknowledge its contribution to the process).
- The base boat animation, which I modified for this pack.
Credit also to FreshLX and the (Fresh animations pack) pack for the inspiration and resources.
Enjoy!
