Overview
Animated Items brings your inventory to life by adding subtle, high-quality animations to vanilla Minecraft items. Instead of static icons, you'll see materials shimmer, liquids flow in their buckets, and magical items pulse with energy. It stays true to the default look of the game while making things feel a lot more dynamic.
Features
- Animated Materials: Diamonds, Emeralds, and various Ingots have a distinct shine.
- Fluid Buckets: Lava glows and flows, Water ripples, and fish/axolotls move around in their buckets.
- Magic & Utility: The Totem of Undying, Eye of Ender, and End Crystals have constant motion.
- Tools & Weapons: Swords and various tools across all tiers feature subtle glints.
- Environmental Items: Torches, Lanterns, and Campfires flicker like their placed block counterparts.
- Mod Support: Built-in animation support for the Tool Trims and Combat Expansion mods.
Resolution & Performance
This is a 16x16 resolution pack. Because it sticks to vanilla resolutions, there is virtually zero impact on your FPS. It is intended to feel like a natural part of the base game.
Compatibility
This pack works on Minecraft 1.18 and all newer versions. Please note:
- OptiFine: Not required for the animations to work.
- Emissives: If you want certain items (like Glow Berries or Soul Lanterns) to glow in the dark, you will need either Continuity or OptiFine.
- Other Packs: If you use other texture packs that change these same item icons, move Animated Items to the top of your list. Note that this pack uses the default vanilla textures, so it will overwrite custom item shapes from other packs.
Mod Loading Order
If you are using the Tool Trims mod, make sure the Animated Items pack is placed above the Tool Trims resource pack in your settings menu to ensure the animated trim combinations show up correctly.
