📋 About This Mod

For the 2 handed animations thy're a few problems.

1. The sneak animation did not play when you crouched leading to the player holding the greatsword in a weird animation.

2. The sneaking Equip animation was missing from his mod, so I found it and added it to the mod to allow the correct animation to play.

3. After fixing the first 2 there was another problem. when sneaking and the animation did play correctly, if your crouched, stood still, and tried to stand, your camera would go up but you would remain crouching. I Did not manage to fix this as much as me just making a slighlty different sneak animation playing. Some of the users may find it odd, but that was the best I could do at the moment.

I also Removed The attacking and Blocking Animations, So for those who play Vanilla will have to download his Original Mod and put those animations in here.
