It is now possible to safely edit "player.entity.json" in a Minecraft Bedrock resource pack without breaking custom character creator skins or making capes invisible. Using the method in this video, you'll be adding new player animations in no time!

Base player.entity.json File: github.com/Mojang/bedrock-samples/blob/main/resource_pack/entity/player.entity.json

Copy the line below:
"min_engine_version": "1.0.0",

A huge thank-you goes out to Rainvay (@RainvayZCYF) for discovering this method. A new animation age is upon us, all thanks to you!

The sprint-jumping and eating animations shown in this video will be released in the next update for Java and Console Aspects. Thanks to @lionheadd and @Kryzor_ for creating these animations in time for the video!
