⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing without checking requirements
👍 Pros
- Huge community trust – 4,543 endorsements and nearly half a million downloads show this is a go-to framework.
- Solves a real problem: animation mods no longer clash, so you can stack your favorites without breaking the game.
- Essential for mod creators – if you're making animations, this is the backbone you need.
👎 Cons
- Not a standalone animation pack – you'll need to pair it with actual animation mods to see any visual changes.
- Requires other mods to be built on it – if you're not using animation mods, this does nothing for you.
- Last updated December 2025 – might not be compatible with future game patches if not updated.
