Groovy mobs

all the mobs wanna dance now.

Mobs near a playing jukebox dance to the beat. Certain mobs do specific dances. If you have an idea for a specific mob dance, let me know in my discord server

Features

• Dance! Mobs will face the player client-side, so each player has the mobs turned towards them. they do not actually move server-side
• On the beat They dance to the beat of each vanilla track.
• Idle mobs only. Will stop if mob's AI does something. Leash the mobs somewhere to just have them dance.
• Respects vanilla. Parrots and allays keep their own vanilla dances.
• Client side. It works on any server, vanilla included.
• Make your own dances. Dances are plain data in the config: keyframed curves for the body and for any named model part (head, legs, tail). Share them in the discord server!

Configuration

Edit config/jukeboxgroove.json and restart. You can set:

• the radius and intensity
• face the viewer on/off
• the meme looks on/off
• which mob does which dance (mobDances)
• random meme mode
• a blacklist
• per disc tempo
• your own dance definitions

FAQ

Does the server need it? No. It's purely visual. If you install it on a dedicated server, Fabric just skips it.

Does it include the meme music? No. Only the movements are inspired by the memes. No audio or other meme assets are included due to copyright.

Why isn't my modded mob dancing? It's probably drawn by its own custom renderer. Tell me which mod it comes from.
