About this Mod

No Idle Animation

Removes the idle hand-moving animation.

This is a very simple Fabric Minecraft mod that removes the player arm swaying animation when idle.
With this mod installed, the player's arms will not move and will stay firmly at the player's side.

The mod was developed to be able to take an exact screenshot of the player model without the animation affecting the final result.
This makes screenshots of the player model reproducible as there is no randomness involved.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does No Idle Animation need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks No Idle Animation as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.

Which version and loader does No Idle Animation require?

Use a file for fabric and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 26.2, 26.1.2, 1.21.11. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

No Idle Animation is not working – what should I check?

First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
