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.
Ongoing Development of Fresh Animations Texture Pack
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.
Using Fresh Animations Texture Pack as an Add-On
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.
No More Boring Zombies and Villagers
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.
Mojang Should Have Included Fresh Animations Texture Pack
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.
Support Fresh Animations Resource Pack
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.
Fresh Animations was published on December 30, 2020 and is compatible with these Minecraft versions: 1.21.3 – 1.21.2 – 1.21.1 – 1.21 – 1.20.6 – 1.20.5 – 1.20.4 – 1.20.3 – 1.20.2 – 1.20.1 – 1.20 – 1.19.4 – 1.19.3 – 1.19.2 – 1.19.1 – 1.19 – 1.18.2 – 1.18.1 – 1.18 – 1.17.1 – 1.17 – 1.16.5 – 1.16.4 – 1.16.3 – 1.16

How To Install Fresh Animations Texture Pack
- To use all the cool features in this pack, download and install OptiFine.
- Download the Fresh Animations texture pack for Minecraft from the file section below. Pick the file that matches your Minecraft edition and version.

- Click "Options" on the main menu.

- You will see the pack on the left side of the resource pack selection menu. Unzip the file if you can't see the pack.
- Hover over the pack thumbnail and click the arrow pointing right. If the game says the pack is for a newer or older Minecraft version when you activate it, don't worry! It's just a heads-up. Click 'Yes' and enjoy the new textures – it won't affect your gameplay.
- 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.

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
How do I get the add-ons for Minecraft PE
The add-ons are only for the Minecraft Java edition. Minecraft PE players don’t need the add-ons.
Can u make it for sodium?
Nice mod but the animations aren’t very smooth
I tried it in 1.18.2, but some of the textures aren´t working.
For example, dogs don´t have eyes.
Playing on the newest OptiFine version and with bac.
Hope you can help me 😀
THIS MOD IS SO BAD BC IT DIDNT CHANGE MY GAME BUT ONLY THE ANIMATIONS
The pack is supposed to change only the animations.
Bro that is the entire point of the mod
its only supossed to change animations bro
The minecraft bedrock version of the pack eliminates the ability to use custom characters and turns them into steves
Please add player animations
Can Minecraft version 1.19.2 be used?
I think the Fresh Animations bedrock download is for another texture pack or are those the ones that come with it? cause the pig, and cow look different
The bedrock version is different from the java version. The download is for a similar pack because Fresh Animations is not officially available for bedrock.
Minecraft Bedrock Edition MediaFire Link doesn’t work “This is usually caused because the file is no longer stored on MediaFire” which means the file removed from MediaFire
please can you fix the file error, If you don’t believe me click the link and see
We have updated the link.
i went 1.15.2 on the version pls
add player animations pls
make bedrock pls
why do you need bedrock you can download java
Please make a bedrock/mcpe version.
pls make it on bedrock and mcpe
Bro , i already tried to restart my game, everything’s activated and for some reasons all the mobs are invisible
i can’t see villager is anyone have same problem?
Please make a Bedrock or MCPE version
it just made the mobs look like herobrines wtf!!!
Nice
Good
good
i tried using this mod but it gives the mobs white eyes then i got optifine but nothing happends it saids in chat openGL error 1280 (invalid operation) openGL error 1282 (invalid operation)
Please follow the instructions in the installation tutorial. You need to enable two Optifine features, because otherwise there will be many bugs.
The animations work now but the game crashed and it still says openGL error 1280 (enum) openGL error 1282 (invalid operation)
Does this work with optifabric?
Yes
is this gonna work on tlauncher?
Yes, but you need Optifine.
it doesn’t work for me, the mobs get all white eyes and the animation stays the same.
How do i fix this problem?
The article says that you need to enable some features. Optifine is needed for this.
hey can you update the players animations? I really like your work an want to pair this texture pack with a thirdperson mod, but while other mobs look cool with their movements the player is just so rigid. Please and thanks!
Is it possible to make this in bedrock?
This would only work if there were optifine for Bedrock. But currently the mod is only available for the computer.
very good texture pack. its working good in my multiplayer world.
Its works great! my only wish is for there to be more passive mobs animated like the cow and sheep and things like that.
Ok
Its a good pack! i tried it pretty good.
ok
🙂
i just wanted to say that there is a problem with the pigs and the zombie villigers thats it (in the addon)
the addons are not working but the animation is and its very cool in case you cant see the animation go to options ==> video settings ==> quality ==> custom entity models: off, press on it and it will change to on, then you’ll be able to see the pack without and not just white eyes.
hope that you fix the addon 🙂
hey uhh how do i make the resource pack work in my game?
Read the article
When I downloaded this everything was great! But when I went to see the villagers they had pink blocks on their head and only the nose and the body of the villager was showing. I don’t know how to fix this or if I did anything wrong, but if you someone knows can you tell please? Thanks.
hi
Hay
Please add animation to the drowned.
If you don’t care about your texture pack you can just tell me, all I am saying is you should check it out because something is wrong… try installing and running it on 1.16.5
Why i can’t ply this addon on minecraft bedrock edition?
Because it requires Optifine
because it’s made for java lol
Me too tho ☹️☹️☹️
I saw it on Tiktok
I enter the game with 1.17 optifine, when everything is open source package, the essence of the villagers turns white and the eyes of the golem disappear
Did you follow our tutorial? You need to activate a few things
I downloaded the texture pack and I am playing in 1.16.5 but it says the texture pack is meant for a later version….
You can ignore this error message, because everything works.
Ok, I noticed that Iron Golems, Villagers, pigs, and some other mobs don’t have animation, I just wanted to ask about that.
Did you activate everything in the settings? Sometimes it also helps to restart the game.
I did, I also tried restarting and nothing
I’m not sure what is wrong
Will all mobs have new animations or just the mobs chosen
Hello. When I turn on this, zombie heads become pink blocks. I play on OptiFine 1.16.5.
Did you follow the tutorial and set everything correctly?
yes but after turning it of and on for showing it its glitched
Okay, that’s not good. You will probably have to restart the game.
