Custom Exterior Animations

⚠️

You need to learn how texture pack and datapacks works!

Create a Datapack

ℹ️

Follow the tutorial on the Minecraft Wiki on datapacks on how to set one up, use the namespace from earlier

Create a new .json file in the path

data/(namespace)/fx/animation/keyframes/(animation_name).json

This will contain the “code” for the animation, you can edit one in from AIT or follow (this video)[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s03eyntLbXw] to see how to make one using BlockBench. (this video also shows how to add it ingame but we will still show you how here.)
You can use any sound from any mod as a de/mat sfx, or even add your own by making a sound resourcepack, check out this video on how to do so.

Create a new .json file in the path

data/(namespace)/fx/animation/type/(animationname_demat).json

Inside this new .json file, paste:

{
 "id": "(id:animationname_demat)",
 "expected_state": "demat",
 "sound": "(sound:id_demat)"
}

(the sound id doesn’t have to be sound:id_demat but that will make it easier when making a mat animation or other things that uses sounds).

Replacing the namespace and the vortex_name with your own from earlier
Be reminded that you will have to repeate these steps if you want to make a remat animation BUT replace where it says demat with mat! And either reverse the demat animation you made or make an entire new one, up to you.
Now put this Datapack into Minecraft.

If you are confused, the json file should look something like this:

{
  "id": "ait:bnt_mat",
  "expected_state": "mat",
  "sound": "ait:tardis/bnt/mat"
}
