About this Mod

Mojanimation Backport is a small animation library that's a backport of vanilla Minecraft's keyframe animation system that was added in 1.19 to older versions. It follows the exact same exporting format as well ("Export Modded Entity Animations" in Blockbench)

How to Use:

Players: If another mod depends on this mod, just install this mod like any other

Modders: See the GitHub Wiki

In the future I may or may not port this to more versions, I'm unsure. However, I am sure that I won't be porting this to other mod loaders. The source code is public here though, so if anyone would like to make a port, feel free to make a pull request there.

Also I did kind of make this on a whim for no real reason, so if there are any bugs feel free to report them on the issue tracker.
