Animating is hard, don’t say I didn’t warn you.

I wanted to do a tutorial on this style of animation in Minecraft because I’ve been using it a lot recently. It’s probably not the easiest way to do it, though. Nor the best-looking. Still, I think it’s pretty cool.


Here’s the useful files/tutorials for you to use:

-- How to get default Minecraft resourcepack --
youtube.com/watch?v=4mv9MjEfRis

-- Program used for coding --
notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads

-- My resourcepack --
mediafire.com/file/x6bqzt6p5wah8df/example.zip/file

-- The world file --
mediafire.com/file/ozntvdc081hovab/im_an_animator_now.zip/file
(I moved all the code from the command blocks into a datapack, so you can look in the files if you want to see the code)
