What?

playerAnimator is a library which allows mods to easily add new player animations. It is most notably used by Better Combat.
Requesting compatibility with playerAnimator as currently the animations are very broken with Better Combat!

Just wondering if there's anything that can be done to mitigate the issues between the two mods without needing full compatibility - the main problem making the mods unplayable together is that in first person mode the wolf body appears covering the screen while swinging weapons.

I can also confirm that this is an issue still in 1.21.1

Maybe the code could look something like this - package com.example.werewolfcompat;

import net.minecraft.client.Minecraft;
import net.minecraft.client.player.LocalPlayer;
import net.minecraftforge.api.distmarker.Dist;
import net.minecraftforge.client.event.RenderPlayerEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.common.MinecraftForge;
import net.minecraftforge.eventbus.api.SubscribeEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod;

@mod("werewolfcompat")
public class WerewolfCompat {

public WerewolfCompat() {
    // Register event listener only on the client side
    MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(this);
}

@SubscribeEvent
public void onRenderPlayer(RenderPlayerEvent.Pre event) {
    if (isLocalPlayer(event.getEntity()) && isPlayerAnimatorInstalled()) {
        event.setCanceled(true); // Prevent rendering werewolf model
    }
}

private boolean isLocalPlayer(LocalPlayer player) {
    return player == Minecraft.getInstance().player;
}

private boolean isPlayerAnimatorInstalled() {
    try {
        // Check if PlayerAnimator mod is loaded
        Class.forName("com.playeranimator.Main"); 
        return true;
    } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
        return false;
    }
}
