Currently, when you block with a shield when Animation Smoothing is enabled, the third person animation doesn't fit well compared to its vanilla counterpart.

Could you make a toggle for the "instant" third person blocking with a shield in vanilla even with Animation Smoothing is enabled?

Futhermore, can you also add an option for instant switching of items in third person?

Huh?

I mean, can you add an option so that there isn't an animation when you switch an item in third person like in Vanilla? Those are the only two things that I would love to see added, although it might not be a popular idea.

I have no clue what you mean. There is no animation for switching an item. Do you maybe mean swapping the left and right hand?

Don't mind the skin, I'm not home so I am on a different setup and account.

Which animation?

The animation when I change items.

But there is none. The arms go up once because you held a crossbow and the crossbow is held up. There is no switching animation

Yes, thats 100% the same. Like I explained to you in the dms, the arm blending is not "an animation". It smooths out the arm positions between ticks. The crossbow is held up, therefor the arm goes up, instead of teleporting up. Honestly, try to play around with the smoothing speed slider.

Without NotEnoughAnimations:

Basically, an option for the arms to instantly go to the position of the crossbow instead of being animated, which is similar to the shield blocking issue.

Why not? I don't see this as an issue.

I did, and I personally found 59.9 to be my favorite. However, I don't really like the specific arm blending when we are talking about shields and crossbows.

No can do. I can look rather it's possible to dynamically turn it off in certain cases, but this will be weeks/months away.

Like I also mentioned in the dms, not that interested in doing this currently since personally I don't think it looks good and no one else so far asked for it, and busy with IRL/other mods.

Okay, I understand that.
