playing multiplayer with this mod installed, it is causing my character animations to be displayed on another player and prevents his from playing. from my perspective, he is just evaporating blocks in front of him without mining, and is crouching/swinging/blocking with a shield at the same time i am. he is having the same issue looking at me.

You did your networking wrong
Join the Emotecraft discord and look at the old player animation threads for help
Or you could use https://github.com/ZigyTheBird/ZigysPlayerAnimatorAPI/wiki

i might be looking in the wrong place, but im in the server and not seeing any threads. i went ahead and dropped my issue in the help channel.

i also checked the wiki and i didnt see anything on my issue
