Excalibur | Fresh Animations Patch

Fresh animations, classic Excalibur vibes.

Load Order

💡 Recommended Load Order for Best Compatibility (From TOP to BOTTOM):

1. Excalibur | Fresh Animations Patch

2. Freshly Modded Lib (optional, library required for Freshly Modded (FMRP). Gives nice eye movement to entities and more

3. Freshly Modded Resource Pack (FMRP) – (optional, for Guard Villagers and Friends&Foes support)

4. Fresh Animations (required, choose the appropriate version for your Minecraft version) HOW? Simple. If you are playing on 1.20.x or 1.21.x use Fresh Animations 1.10.4, if you are on Minecraft 26.1 and up, use Fresh Animations 1.10.5

5. Excalibur Mod Support (All of the packs available in Curseforge/Modrinth or Excalibur's discord)

6. Excalibur | Clarent Edition (required if your Minecraft version is 1.20.1,1.21.x, except 1.21.11)

7. Excalibur (required) (ALWAYS use Excalibur 1.21.11 unless you are on Minecraft 1.26+)

8. Fresh Player Animation Extension (optional, this should be placed below Excalibur; otherwise, it will override Excalibur's leggings texture)

IN OTHER WORDS: If you are playing on Minecraft 1.20.1 or any version of 1.21.1 my recommendation is to use Excalibur 1.21.11 and Excalibur Clarent Edition on top of it for best compatibility. If you are on Minecraft 1.26+ just use the version of Excal that matches your minecraft version.
