Description
Bringing the beloved animation overhaul to Minecraft 1.20.1
Ever felt like Steve moves a bit too... stiff? Mo' Bends breathes life into Minecraft's characters with fluid, dynamic animations that make every action feel impactful and alive.
This is an unofficial port of the legendary Mo' Bends mod, originally created by iwoplaza (GoblinBob). All credit for the original concept, design, and animation work goes to him. This port simply brings his incredible work to modern Minecraft versions for players who don't want to leave it behind.

Requirements
- Minecraft 1.20.1 - Forge
