About
Fresh Friends is a resource pack that adds Fresh Animations support to the villager models used by Villager Recruits, Workers, and Guards; it does not support human models. It gives these characters facial expressions, walking and running animations, crossbow-aiming animations, and melee animations. The pack also supports biome-specific recruit textures from the Companion Update. It requires Entity Model Features and Entity Texture Features, and bowmen or crossbowmen may sometimes point their weapons upward.
Written from CurseForge . How we write it
In-game changes
Keeps all of vanilla Minecraft's textures, models and sounds.
In OptiFine's formats: 3 entity models. Also has files for 3 other mods: Recruits, Workers and Guardvillagers.
Textures are mostly 64 by 64 pixels.

Security
No harmful code found
We checked what is inside its files, without opening them in the game.
Why we show this: a resource pack cannot run programs, but its file can hide one. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.1 latest file, for a recent version. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks.

Privacy
Sends nothing
A resource pack has no code that can connect to the internet, so it cannot send anything about you.
AI
No sign so far that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its description, files and images and found none.
We have not read its changelogs yet.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.Not on Modrinth.
- Description and changelogsThe description, project page and newest changelogs: sentences saying an AI tool was used, and text pasted from an AI chat.Nothing found in the descriptionChangelogs not read yet
- Its filesFiles that AI coding tools leave behind (like AGENTS.md), and the texts inside the files you download.Nothing found
- Images in its filesHidden data in the images of the files you download, where AI image tools write their name and settings.Nothing found30 images read
