Old Walking Animation
Feeling nostalgic? Then this mod is for you. This mod brings back the derpy walk cycle that caused your arms to flail around when you walk for all players. This is a client cosmetic mod, meaning that if you install it this effect will be applied to all players.
This is a very simple mod and should work with future versions of MC
Features: Adds the indev derpy walk cycle for all player characters (Togglable in the config) Adds a disabled by default option to enable the walk cycle for humanoid mobs
Requires Fabric Api or Quilted Fabric API
