WobbleFX

WobbleFX is a client-side Fabric mod that adds a springy, exaggerated hit wobble effect to entities in Minecraft.

When a mob gets hit, its model briefly bends, overshoots, and settles back instead of just snapping through vanilla hurt animation. The effect is inspired by cartoony “meme wobble” motion, but implemented as a clean render-only animation layer so it does not affect gameplay.

What it does

• Adds a visible wobble effect when entities take damage
• Uses damped oscillation / spring motion instead of static or linear movement
• Makes hits feel more animated, elastic, and expressive
• Applies the effect visually only on the client

The wobble is designed to feel like:

• a strong initial bend on impact
• a quick overshoot past neutral
• a short settling motion back to normal

Features

• Hit wobble for living entities
• Spring-like motion with overshoot and decay
• Configurable strength, speed, and duration
• Client-side only
• No changes to combat, knockback, AI, or hitboxes

How it works

WobbleFX does not move the real entity or change its physics.

Instead, it modifies the entity’s rendered model pose for a brief moment after a hit. This gives the effect a rubbery, animated look without changing actual gameplay behavior.

The animation system is based on:

• damped oscillation
• short-lived impulse reactions
• overshoot and settle behavior

This makes the wobble feel dynamic instead of looking like random shaking.

Configuration

WobbleFX is configurable, including options such as:

• effect enable/disable
• wobble intensity
• wobble speed
• wobble duration
• style tuning from subtle to exaggerated

Performance

• Lightweight
• Client-side only
• No server dependency
• Designed to keep the effect visual and simple

Compatibility

• Requires Fabric Loader
• Visual-only mod
• Does not modify gameplay mechanics
• Safe to use in normal client-side modpacks

Notes

WobbleFX is meant to improve visual feedback and add a more stylized reaction when entities are hit.

It does not:

• increase knockback
• change damage
• move hitboxes
• affect servers

Inspiration

Inspired by exaggerated springy motion and stylized wobble effects seen in animated edits and meme-style character motion.
