📋 About This Mod
A custom, unisex jump animation is applied to the player, which plays randomly.Designed to be always bouncy as a Dragonborn.
"There are no gameplay changes other than improved jump animations."
- That's a thing of the past now; the gameplay has been updated since the groundbreaking 0. 9. 0 release.
This is my first such big and personal work, but I still decided to share it with the community!
The mod is under active development. Therefore, animation variations may vary greatly from version to version. "Looking for the perfect formula"

bounce off, gaining additional momentum (horizontal

the character is propelled away from the NPC, and the NPC receives a stagg
