Fresh Animations: Extensions bundles FreshLX's official add-on packs for Fresh Animations, layering extra animated boats, rearing horses, updated spiders and creepers, and several smaller entity and object tweaks on top of the base pack. It changes nothing by itself. Every model it touches belongs to Fresh Animations, so the base pack has to be installed and working before this one does anything. The bundle has been downloaded more than 10 million times on Modrinth.
What the extensions bundle adds
- Boats: adds extra animation to boats.
- Rearing: gives horses a rearing animation.
- Spider edit: updates spider animations, refreshed later as the spiders updated revision.
- Creeper edit: updates the creeper's animation.
- Classic horses edit: reworks animations for the classic horse variants.
- Details add-on: adds extra animation detail across several entities.
- Emissive add-on: adds emissive glow effects to select entities.
- Quivers add-on: adds quiver visuals tied to Fresh Animations' entity models.
- Slamacow add-on: adds animation touches in the Slamacow style.
- Objects add-on: animates non-mob entities in the Fresh Animations style.
Installing on top of Fresh Animations
Fresh Animations: Extensions installs the same way as any resource pack, with one extra step for load order. For the general process, see how to install Minecraft resource packs.
- 1.Install Fresh Animations and confirm it renders correctly with OptiFine's Custom Entity Models, or with Entity Model Features and Entity Texture Features.
- 2.Download Fresh Animations: Extensions from its Modrinth project page.
- 3.Place the downloaded ZIP in the resourcepacks folder. Do not extract it.
- 4.Open the in-game Resource Packs menu and move Extensions above Fresh Animations in the active list.
Compatibility and version support
Fresh Animations: Extensions is a Java Edition resource pack, like the base pack it depends on. The project declares support from 1.19.2 through the current 26.x drops, matching Fresh Animations itself. Minecraft moved to year.drop version numbers in 2026, so 26.x is the current release line rather than a fixed 1.21 build. There is no Bedrock Edition version.
What this bundle does not do
- Does not work without Fresh Animations installed and active. It patches models the base pack adds, so nothing shows without it.
- Does not expand the roughly 80 mobs Fresh Animations itself animates. It only adds the extras listed above.
- No player animation add-on. That stays a separate early access download through the creator's Ko-fi, the same as with the base pack.
- No Bedrock Edition build.

Fresh Animations and Fresh Animations Extensions overview
Questions about Fresh Animations: Extensions.
5 questions
Do I need Fresh Animations installed to use Fresh Animations: Extensions?
Yes. Fresh Animations: Extensions only patches models that the base Fresh Animations pack already adds. Install Fresh Animations first, confirm it renders correctly, then load Extensions above it in the resource pack list. Without the base pack active, none of these extras show up in-game.
How do I install Fresh Animations: Extensions?
Download Fresh Animations: Extensions from Modrinth, drop the ZIP into your resourcepacks folder without extracting it, then move it above Fresh Animations in the in-game Resource Packs menu. You still need OptiFine's Custom Entity Models, or Entity Model Features and Entity Texture Features together, for either pack to render.
Does Fresh Animations: Extensions work with Entity Model Features and Entity Texture Features instead of OptiFine?
Yes. EMF and ETF are the accepted Fabric and NeoForge-friendly alternative to OptiFine's Custom Entity Models feature for both Fresh Animations and its extensions. Either route needs to already be working with the base pack before Extensions will render anything.
Which Minecraft versions does Fresh Animations: Extensions support?
The project declares support from 1.19.2 through the current 26.x drops, matching the base Fresh Animations pack. Minecraft moved to year.drop version numbers in 2026, so 26.x is the current release line rather than a fixed 1.21 build.
Is Fresh Animations: Extensions available for Bedrock Edition?
No. Like Fresh Animations itself, this bundle is Java Edition only. There is no Bedrock port planned.
