About this Mod
Dancerizer
Dancerizer adds new cosmetic items that not only look funny but also grant players new animations to perform.
👉 Note: This mod has been originally made for ModFest: Carnival, make sure to check out the other submissions as well!
Dances
Some items grant the player wearing it the ability to make a dance! Those can be as complex or long as possible. Besides that, they do not add any additional functionality.
Taunts
Other items have a taunt pose. By wearing such an item, not only can they be performed similar to how dances work. They also have a small chance for the player blocking any kind of damage automatically. The chance stacks with the amount of items that have a taunt and are being worn or held.
Making Custom Animations
By giving an item the dance or taunt component, the item will act just like any other item of this mod. Custom animations can be added through resource packs. Creating an animation is possible with the appropiate model like this one for Blockbench.
Warning: When making animations that do not only use linear keyframes, make sure to bake them with this plugin first, as this mod does not support other kinds of keyframes yet. See Known Missing Features on GitHub for more details.
