Make sure you are downloading the right resource pack for the right MC Version. The 1.8 and 1.9 versions are separated!


Dancing Life is a 16x texture pack that strives to bring life with only a very small canvas. All textures, with the exception of the font, are in the original 16x resolution. Dancing Life's color palette is more vibrant than default with higher saturation of the colors. Most of the textures in the mod are made to look brighter or darker with more contrasting shades. There is a general smoothness given to the textures.


There are a few 3D models given to some blocks in the game. There isn't much to say about this, but likely more will be added in the future.
3D Models
  • Beacon
  • Bed
  • Ladder
  • Sugar Cane
  • Jukebox
  • Cactus
The main aspect of Dancing Life is that a huge majority of the pack is animated while still maintaining the 16x resolution. All the foliage (that is alive) is animated and are moving constantly or periodically which makes it look like they are "dancing." Other blocks like the furnace, sand, and jukebox have animations that add to the liveliness of the resource pack. Blocks are not the only thing animated as the ender eye and ingots each get a sheen effect. Potions have a bubbling effect and the prismarine shards change shade to match the blocks they make. There are also a number of subtle animations in the disc, buckets, and more. If you want to see the full list of animations click on the spoiler below.
