Ragdoll Compat: Fresh Animations

Keep Fresh Animations on your living mobs without broken-looking ragdolls.

This client-side compatibility addon for Minecraft 1.21.1 NeoForge connects the Sable ragdoll setup with Fresh Animations through EMF. It addresses issues such as glass-like textures, missing model sections, and distorted mob ragdolls.

How it works

When a supported mob ragdolls, the addon uses a separate vanilla model and Minecraft’s original base texture for its ragdoll appearance. Living mobs retain Fresh Animations, and recovered mobs return to their normal animated appearance.

The patch affects mob ragdolls only. It does not change player ragdolls or globally disable your resource packs.

Requirements

Install these mods and resource packs, along with their dependencies:

Fresh Animations
Fresh Animations: Extensions
Sable
Sable Ragdolls — 0.7.5
Ragdoll Reactions
Ragdoll Corpse
Entity Model Features (EMF) — 3.3.1
Entity Texture Features (ETF)

Version 1.0.0 specifically targets Sable Ragdolls 0.7.5 and EMF 3.3.12. Compatibility with other versions is not guaranteed.

Installation

1. Install the required mods in your Minecraft 1.21.1 NeoForge profile.

2. Enable Fresh Animations and its extensions.

3. Place this addon’s .jar in your client’s mods folder.

4. Remove any earlier test version of this addon before launching.

Do not install this addon on a dedicated server. Follow the original mods’ own client/server installation requirements.

Known limitations

A brief visible model change may occur when entering or leaving ragdoll.

Some modded mobs, custom renderers, or equipment layers may not be supported.

Existing ragdolls may retain previously captured broken geometry. Test with newly spawned mobs after installation.

Ragdolls intentionally use vanilla visuals rather than preserving Fresh Animations’ custom appearance.
