Have you ever dreamed of a Minecraft update that makes the animations look like something out of Element Animations or even Minecraft Story Mode? If so, we can gladly say rejoice because Oreville Studios did too! Today, we explore their add-on that brings the animations of Minecraft to life while answering, “What is Actions & Stuff in Minecraft?”

What is Actions & Stuff in Minecraft?

Actions & Stuff is a Bedrock Edition Add-On that completely revamps player and mob animations, updates vanilla textures while remaining faithful to the originals, and adds updated 3D models for items such as worn armor and lanterns when held in hand. Many other aspects of the game are also made more immersive, with updated particles being a prominent example. The Realistic Biomes add-on is recommended for use alongside Actions & Stuff by the developer, and both are multiplayer compatible.

How to Download Actions & Stuff

Actions & Stuff by Oreville Studios is available for purchase on the Minecraft Marketplace for 1690 Minecoins, equivalent to about $9.99 USD. After paying, the add-on will be an available option to add to either your single-player worlds or realms service, where it will be set up automatically. If purchasing Realistic Biomes as well, which Oreville Studios recommends for use alongside Actions & Stuff, an additional 990 Minecoins will be required. This makes the grand total for both 2680 Minecoins, or about $15.98 USD.

Is This Add-On Available for Java Edition?

Actions & Stuff is sadly exclusive to Minecraft Bedrock Edition at this time with no stated intentions for porting the add-on over. However, a developer named EnderPacks has created and released a Java Edition modpack named Fresh & Smooth that achieves something very similar for no cost at all. The latest Fresh & Smooth releases for Minecraft 1.21 can be found on their Modrinth page here.
