Why Minecraft Bedrock Actions & Stuff feels better than Java Edition's animation resource packs

Minecraft Bedrock Edition recently received the highly anticipated Actions & Stuff addon, which brings loads of new animations to player characters as well as mobs. Additionally, it also brings new textures to all the blocks and items in the sandbox. It is a paid addon that can be purchased through Bedrock Edition's Marketplace.

An argument can be made that Actions & Stuff may be better than several other Java Edition animation resource packs that came before it. Here's how.

Ways in which Minecraft Bedrock Actions & Stuff addon can be considered better than Java Edition animation resource packs

Though Java Edition mods and resource packs are old, when it comes to animation resource packs, they have always been separate for the player's character and mobs.

For example, Minecraft's Fresh Animations resource pack only animated the mob movements, but not the player's character. On the other hand, Better Animations applied to a player's character, but not the mobs. Hence, players have to download and install both these resource packs to get the full animation experience in Minecraft. Furthermore, they have to make sure the two packs are compatible with each other and with the latest version of the game.

These issues aren't there in Actions & Stuff. The new Bedrock Edition addon includes both player and mob animations. Furthermore, it will automatically work with updated Minecraft versions. If the addon receives an update, it can be easily downloaded from the in-game Marketplace as well.

When a gamer plays Minecraft with the Actions & Stuff addon for the first time, they will quickly realize how lively the mobs and player animations are in the game. In comparison, other Java Edition resource packs are simpler when it comes to the level of detail added to every mob and player movement.

Players have a specific animation for each and every movement, including crawling, walking backward, and more. It is safe to say that no Java Edition resource pack allows players to experience such detailed animations for their character like Actions & Stuff.
