I see a lot of updated animations from community mods which get rid of this type of motion in players in favour of more realistic stepping and jogging, which look REALLY cool, but there's just something really iconic about the OG animations for players, skeletons, zombies, etc.

So I see a lot of people saying they'd want old animations updated because of the newer keyframe animations from Frog and Warden. But here's a genuine question: Would people really want to get rid of the classic "swinging side to side" of player/humanoid legs/arms, for example?

Of course in saying that, for non-humanoid models I think cows, pigs, etc could certainly get away with better animations without removing anything of substance. It's really just the "player" and common humanoid mobs that I'd be worried about.

I think improved animations are obviously nice, but I think the art style of Minecraft in places like these can be more iconic than intended, and we need to respect that :) I'd want us to be very careful about updating old animations if we ever did

@phnixhamsta i mean look at this beauty, how could you get rid of such a classic set of moves oh wait

@Phimic1 Well actually we never changed the silhouette or shape of the diamond ore texture, which was the point of that original statement. We technically "changed" the texture but that was only to make it easier to spot its contrast for color blind players. The shape is the same.

@CrafterStevey True, but isn't there something charming about players moving in a sort of "stiff" motion, while more alien and creepy creatures like the Warden are more fluid? Even Frogs, it's funny to have a very lively and animated creature while players stick to their non-agile ways.

@jakuu_h Well trust me I'm not arguing classic for the sake of classic, I mean I think the Warden in some cases tries to break away from traditional Minecraft principles where it can. But I do believe there is genuinely something charming about player animations. It's good to be careful.

@FeranogameTW Oh yeah we'd never add bends or "joints" for limbs, that's a HUGE no no for Minecraft.

@1LotS_official Sure but that's not part of the core game loop in terms of animations. Emotes are almost purely social in nature and you wouldn't see it outside of multiplayer really.

@ThePizzaMuncher We'd never add more joints, it's more about making the animation itself have more personality

@Xilefian @JasperBoerstra Absolutely agreed

@Prowl8413 Could you explain 9? What's not optimized about leveldb?

@tacogs Not at all, I still try to talk to people when I can but I've given them full reign in doing their own thing at this point :)

Why does Mojang allow this, it's literally an Aether ripoff

So Long, and Thanks for All the Feedback

Should /r/Minecraft continue participating in the protest?

Is it me or does this look like a rubber duck????
