Initially, it may not be immediately apparent what changes the Fresh Animations texture pack makes. However, you do not have to search for a long time in Minecraft because a single glance at the mobs should be sufficient. FreshAlex, the creator from New Zealand, focused solely on mobs and did not change any blocks or items. This is not a bad thing at all because the new animations for the Minecraft mobs are exceptional. The project was a success right from the beginning since it was a completely new mod idea.
The project was published at the end of 2020 and is a work-in-progress pack, which means that it is developed over time and is not fully finished. Within a few months, the pack had already received several hundred thousand downloads. It gives an animation overhaul to the creatures in the default look of Minecraft. The goal is to make the mobs more dynamic and believable. You can enjoy better physics and behavior in single-player, realms, and public multiplayer servers. Please note that FreshAlex works and adds new textures at his own pace, so it’s best to refrain from requesting new animations.
By the way, we recommend that you use the Fresh Animations texture pack as an add-on. This means that you should also use another pack so that all textures are enhanced. It is best to select one in the default style from our website because the mobs are also designed in this style.
Monsters and animals have been improved and do not look the same as they did in Minecraft Vanilla. The new expressive faces and movements make them much livelier. From now on, you will no longer see boring zombies moving unrealistically at night. Instead, the arms and legs move like those of a human. Even the creeper has been changed and looks quite amusing when it moves. The hostile mobs look cool, but they are still dangerous. Especially the mobs carrying weapons look extremely realistic.
Moreover, there are numerous changes to the villagers. However, we will not reveal more features so that you have the opportunity to explore everything for yourself. The best approach is to look for a village in your Minecraft world and see for yourself what changes have been made to the villagers and iron golems.
Honestly, it would have been nice if Mojang had included such animations in Minecraft from the beginning. Fortunately, this is not an issue anymore because you can install the Fresh Animations texture pack in our download section. We hope that more features will be added in the future. Furthermore, the creator is often asked if he can create animations for player models (skins) as well. Unfortunately, this is not possible at the moment, so there is no way to add animated player models to the Fresh Animation mod. So you have to use another mod if you want to dance with your Steve or Alex skin.
If you like the Fresh Animations resource pack and want to support the creator, you can donate to him. This will give you the supporter role on the official Fresh Animations Discord server and early access to new updates. In addition, it’s great to see that the creator FreshAlex is contributing to other projects, such as the Patrix texture pack. By adding custom mob animation and tweaking the models, Alex is helping to improve the realistic Patrix mod.

How To Install Fresh Animations Texture Pack

- Click "Done" and all assets have been loaded.
OptiFine CEM and Other Packs
The pack uses a feature of OptiFine called custom entity models (CEM) to add new animations. It’s important to note that if you have other packs with OptiFine CEM features installed, they will override Fresh Animations CEM, removing the animation.
To use Fresh Animations properly, it’s important to make sure that you have the correct settings in the video options. You need to go to the video settings, click on quality, and make sure that custom entity models are turned on. Random entities and emissive textures are optional settings that can also be turned on.
If you have problems with the activation and get an error message in the launcher, please restart the game. Our final question for you: Do you like the animations? Feel free to write a comment.

I can’t download Faithful x Fresh Animations because of PlanetMinecraft’s stupid “Just a moment…” captcha! It’s broken!
The link has been changed so that you no longer have to fill out a captcha.
It’s really great, but I would love it if there were also player animations, like in Actions & Stuff
Downloaded both the FA pack and the extensions yet villagers still have no eyes, movement for golems and dogs is all that i saw that worked, i like the movement so far but not sure what to do?
Have you read the ‘How to Install’ section? You need OptiFine or the EMF and ETF mods.
this pack with realistic blocks would be crazy
when i download 1.21 it downloads 1.9.2 beta
This is because 1.21 refers to the Minecraft version, while 1.9.2 beta is the texture pack version. The number 1.9.2 does not correspond to any Minecraft version. Rest assured, the pack is fully compatible with the specified Minecraft 1.21 version. If you see an incompatibility message, you can safely ignore it.
Bat texture bug in 1.20.4, its wings and eyes are in places where they shouldn’t be
when I install the 3 packs, the mobs have no eyes.
I would like the player to have animations as well. With that being said, this is a truly excellent animation pack. I didn’t even know animation packs existed! Additionally, you can use other textures with it by placing it at the top of your texture list using the arrow that points to the top when hovering over it. This is incredibly awesome!
when i download the file its say default touch mod?
not fresh animation and the default touch animation is bad
like it a lot
can i use this texture in mobile?
Why when I click to download 1.20.x version, it downloads its 1.8.x version. And this mod didnt change anything.
Hello, you have mixed something up. It is the 1.8.1 developer version of Fresh Animations. This version works with the latest Minecraft update. If you have problems, please read the installation guide again.
Kinda sad that I cant have my skin 🙁
I downloaded this mod pack, and when I went into my survival world, no difference was made, except for every mob not having any pupils/iris’s. Can you/ you guys help with this bug?
i had i too, you just have to download extensions
Is bad there is no difference.
I tested the animations in my game and I really like them, but for some reason, the add-on pack seems to make their eyes roll back/turn white. It sucks because I really liked the texture variation, but I’ll need to hold off on that until it doesn’t do that anymore. Definitely keeping the base texture pack in though
when I click on the 1.19 file it comes up with the 1.18 file instead? idk why it does i’ve tried 3 times it does the same thing with the add ons too
It is the correct 1.19.X version, but it has the wrong pack_format. You can still activate the pack and the creator of Fresh Animations will surely fix this bug.
make it for mcpe and mcbe
if you don’t then bad
