Frequently asked

Does Better Animations work on Minecraft 26.3?

Yes. 26.3 is the newest Minecraft version Better Animations declares support for, and the claim comes from the author's own release metadata rather than from a compatibility list somebody maintains by hand.

Which Minecraft versions does Better Animations support?

Everything the author has declared, from 1.16.2 up to 26.3. The full list is in the table above, with the Java runtime each version needs next to it.

Do I need to install Better Animations on the client or the server?

The client only. There is nothing to install on the server side. That is the author's declared design, not a guarantee for every server: one running anti-cheat or missing a counterpart mod can still object.

What licence is Better Animations under?

LicenseRef-CreativeCommons-Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives-4.0-International, as stated by the author on the platform we synced it from. Check the project's own page before redistributing or bundling it.

How do I install Better Animations?

Download the file from the author's own release, put it in your resourcepacks folder, and enable it in Options, then Resource Packs. No loader is involved; check the pack targets your Minecraft version so textures do not fall back to defaults.

Where do I download Better Animations safely?

Start with the author's page on Modrinth, which is where the data here is synced from. MCReference does not host or repackage files. When available, recorded download links go to the source for that release; verify the publisher, filename and any available checksum before running it.
