Play solo and duo emotes, customize movement profiles and use first-person animation options on your Paper server. Optional Personas integration brings animated scenes to NPCs.
Latest update
This release fixes resource-pack rejection, black HUD panels and hotbar rendering when Animotions runs alongside UltimateUI. It also restores HUD player-model skin mapping, fixes per-element clipping in UltimateUI 1.4.2, corrects world-model lighting and keeps fog out of HUD elements.
The hidden-armour asset now loads correctly, and version-specific item definitions no longer produce the 66 ItemsAdder unreferenced-model warnings. See the Changelog tab for the full fixes and earlier Dev29 recovery changes.
Resource-pack compatibility
The generated resource pack supports Minecraft clients from 1.21.4 through 26.3, with held-item definitions for each version band. UltimateUI 1.4.2 is supported, alongside earlier UltimateUI versions.
This client range does not lower the plugin's server requirements: the JAR declares a Paper API baseline of 1.21.5. Use Java 21 for Paper 1.21.x and Java 25 for Paper 26.1 onward, with PacketEvents 2.14.0 and a valid Animotions license.
Updating
Stop the server, replace Animotions.jar and keep your existing data folder and license. No configuration changes are required. Start the server and let the resource pack rebuild automatically, then publish and accept the updated pack through your normal provider.
Using UltimateUI? Update both plugins together. The shader changes in this release are matched to UltimateUI 1.4.2.
Personas 1.2.5 for NPC animation; compatible ItemsAdder, Nexo or CraftEngine provider; UltimateUI 1.4.2 (earlier UltimateUI versions remain supported).
File formats
Animotions.jar (plugin JAR).

Installation
Back up and stop the server. Replace Animotions.jar and keep your existing data folder, configuration and license. Keep only one Animotions JAR in plugins. No configuration changes are needed. If you use UltimateUI, update both plugins together: this shader release is matched to UltimateUI 1.4.2. Restart and let the resource pack rebuild automatically, then publish and accept the rebuilt pack through your usual provider. Use PacketEvents 2.14.0. Java 21 for Paper 1.21.x; Java 25 for Paper 26.1 onward. Resource-pack client support is 1.21.4–26.3; the plugin declares a Paper API baseline of 1.21.5.

The plugin is great, it allows you to do so much. The animations provided are good, and you can easily add your own.
It’s really worth the price. I highly recommend it.
The support is incredible. Bugs are fixed really fast, and new features are added when requested. Thanks a lot for that!

FROM THE STUDIO
Development notes for this resource.
What changed
1.0.11 — Resource-pack fixes and UltimateUI 1.4.2
- Fixed resource-pack rejection with UltimateUI: composed fragment shaders now put #version first, restoring the two affected item-rendering pipelines.
- Fixed black panels, broken hotbars and incorrect head hiding caused by overlapping position bands used by Animotions and UltimateUI.
- Restored UltimateUI HUD player-model skin UV mapping when composing the shaders.
- Fixed UltimateUI 1.4.2 per-element clipping and scrolled items, closing the limitation documented in Dev29.
- Fixed world-space player models rendering nearly black because lightmap tags were interpreted as lighting values.
- Stopped HUD elements picking up world fog and corrected the affected lighting/head-hide behavior.
- Fixed the startup parse error caused by the invalid animotions:hidden armor-hide asset.
- Removed 66 ItemsAdder unreferenced-model warnings by keeping version-specific item definitions out of the shared pack.
- Updated the resource pack for Minecraft clients from 1.21.4 through 26.3.
- Added separate held-item definitions for each version range.
- Added compatibility with UltimateUI 1.4.2 while keeping support for earlier UltimateUI versions.
- The resource pack rebuilds on startup after updating. No configuration changes are needed.
Upgrade Animotions and UltimateUI together; this shader update was matched to UltimateUI 1.4.2. Stop the server, replace Animotions.jar and update UltimateUI, then restart and let the resource-pack rebuild finish. Keep your existing Animotions data folder.
1.0.10-Dev29 — ItemsAdder pack recovery and rebuild fixes
- Added /animotions pack recovery to preview a provider-pack repair and /animotions pack recovery apply to run it with backups.
- Recovery removes unchanged Animotions exports and restores verified original UltimateUI shaders while preserving edited and unrelated files.
- Fixed automatic ItemsAdder rebuild requests being lost while ItemsAdder is busy. Animotions retries and checks the generated pack before marking the local rebuild complete.
- Recovery, replacement exports and shutdown cancel pending rebuild work.
Recovery is an optional troubleshooting action and temporarily disables Animotions. Use a normal JAR replacement and restart for a routine update.
1.0.10-Dev28 — Previous update
- Updated PacketEvents compatibility for Minecraft 26.3.
- Included movement and camera improvements, JOML linkage fixes, updated 26.3 shaders, Nexo armor paths, provider revision handling and shutdown fixes.
