This project is a community port/mashup inspired by incredible works from the community. Full credit goes to the original creators:
Fresh Animations created by FreshLX — The mastermind behind the original dynamic mob animation concepts.
Actions & Stuff created by Oreville Studios — The creators of the original immersive animation and texture overhaul
(This 1.12.2 port exists solely for the legacy community to enjoy these animation styles under proper compliance with the original authors)
