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

No Idle Animation server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (26.1.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is No Idle Animation compatible with fabric?

No Idle Animation officially supports fabric for Minecraft 26.1.2, 1.21.11. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with No Idle Animation – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if No Idle Animation consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
