DawnAurora Player Animations

Experience ultimate fluid physics-based player animations, including dynamic blinking and capes. Extremely lightweight (1.99MB), perfectly preserving the vanilla aesthetic. Requires EMF & ETF (or OptiFine).

🌅 DawnAurora Smooth - Ultimate Physics-Based CEM Animations 🚀

Experience the most fluid, soul-injected Minecraft player animations ever created.

DawnAurora Smooth completely revolutionizes the vanilla player model. By rewriting the underlying animation and physics engine, we have introduced real weight, momentum, and life into your character. From the dynamic blinking of the eyes to the physical sway of the cape, every movement is calculated to provide an incredibly immersive experience.

✨ And the best part? It is ultra-lightweight (Only 1.99MB). ✨ We promise zero compromise on your game's FPS, even on low-end PCs!


🌟 ✨ Core Features ✨ 🌟

⚙️ Advanced Physics-Based Inertia System No more stiff, robotic movements! 🦾 Animations are calculated dynamically based on real-time variables (limb_speed, jump, fall, tread, land). Experience natural momentum and realistic body weight when starting, stopping, and turning.

👁️ Epic Dynamic Blinking System Your Steve is finally alive! 🫀 The character will blink naturally and randomly, just like a real living being. A tiny, hand-crafted detail that brings a massive soul to the game.

🧥 Dynamic Cape Physics Say goodbye to the stiff vanilla cardboard cape! 🌪️ The cape now simulates air resistance, gravity, and wind flow. It will flap wildly during high-speed flights and gracefully drape over your shoulders when you are idle.


🎮 🏆 Complete Animation Showcase 🏆 🎮

We have completely overhauled DOZENS of player animations. Every state you can think of has been meticulously hand-crafted with extreme attention to detail:

🏃‍♂️ Locomotion & Movement 🏃‍♂️

· 🚶‍♂️ Walking & Sprinting: Natural body lean, realistic momentum buffering, and fluid arm swings. No more mechanical pendulum walking! · 🥷 Sneaking (Crouching): Body weight shifts naturally, with the cape drooping elegantly to simulate gravity and stealth. · 🕊️ Flying & Hovering: Superman-style flight with dynamic pitch tilting based on where you look. The cape dances in the wind! · 🏊‍♂️ Swimming: Realistic water resistance physics. Every stroke feels heavy and immersive. · 🧗‍♂️ Ladder Climbing: Alternating arm pulls with authentic muscle tension and body sway. · 🍂 Soft Falling: Light, weightless descent with limbs spreading slightly to balance the air resistance.

⚔️ Combat & Tool Interactions ⚔️

· 🗡️ Sword Attack & Slash: Heavy, impactful sword swings with smooth combos (smoothswing) and physical recoil. · 👊 Bare-handed Punch: Hardcore, weighty fist attacks with extreme torque and impact tension. · 🏹 Bow & Arrow: Tense drawing animation (Bow Charge) and realistic physical recoil upon shooting. · 🔱 Trident Throw: Powerful charge-up and violent throwing momentum. Feel the massive weight of the trident! · ⛏️ Mining (Pickaxe): Weighty pickaxe swings that hit the blocks with immense force. You can feel the rebound! · 🪏 Shoveling: Realistic waist and shoulder exertion when digging dirt or sand. · 🌾 Farming (Hoe): A powerful downward smash when tilling soil, making farming feel satisfying. · 🛡️ Item Switching & Equip: Extremely smooth transition animations (requip/lequip) when switching hotbar items. No more instant teleporting items! · 🔭 Spyglass: Realistic weight when raising the glass, with a subtle breathing sway while observing.

🍎 Ambient & Survival Details 🍎

· 🍗 Eating: Natural chewing movements, head tilts, and swallowing inertia. No more shoving food into your face! · 🧪 Drinking: Realistic bottle tilting and fluid swallowing physics. · 💥 Hurt & Knockback: Realistic physical knockback and body flinching based on the attack source.


⚙️ 📥 Dependencies & Installation 📥 ⚙️

🚨 CRITICAL WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY 🚨 This resource pack requires a specific engine to run CEM animations. You must choose ONLY ONE of the following setups. DO NOT install them together, or your game will crash!

Option 1: EMF + ETF (Highly Recommended)

· Entity Model Features (EMF) · Entity Texture Features (ETF) · Works best on modern Fabric, Forge, or NeoForge environments.

Option 2: OptiFine (Legacy)

· If you are using OptiFine (HD U H1 or higher), the pack works natively.

🛠️ How to Install:

  1. Download the .zip file.
  2. Place it into .minecraft/resourcepacks/.
  3. Launch Minecraft, go to Options -> Resource Packs, and enable it.
  4. IMPORTANT: Ensure "Custom Entity Models" is turned ON in your video settings.

⚠️ 🐛 Known Issues & Developer Notes 🐛 ⚠️

· 🚧 Torch Holding Bug (Alpha Stage): We are aware that when holding a torch in the first-person view, the arm may fail to raise properly. We are actively reconstructing the skeleton node logic for the v0.0.6 update to fix this! · ❌ Bedrock Edition: Not supported. Java Edition ONLY (1.20.1 & 1.20).
