There has only been two animations that I find really need to be implimented, and we are going to cover both here completely. The running and walking are both fine. I like them this isn't going to be one of those "add joint's, and hands, and eyebrows, and noses" kind of blogs, but rather animations that look missing and weird.

First off swimming animation. This animation is just the walking animation but played slightly slower. Im not asking for new swimming mechanics, but at least lay the character flat when they are in the water. Realisticly the only time you are straight up in water is if you are treading, and your arms should be outward to do that. If steve tried swimming like he does now he would go straight down. Right now it looks like it's missing an animation. So yeah just tilt steve 90 degrees and boom, a better swimming animation.

Our second topic is much like the first, flying. Now in survival mode you never fly so this animation only applys to creative. Again it looks like something is missing. The fly is the same walking animation, but much faster. We could use at least some sort of seperate movement or orentation for flying. Right now flying is just air walking. We need a superman looking animation or something. Flying is awesome, air walking is less awesome. 

So yeah thats about it every other animation seems to be just fine, and fits in to Minecraft perfectly. These both are very small changes, but they would be very immursive. Also before you comment "get animated players mod noob" I don't want joint's and fancy mouths and eyebrows, I just want the two missing animations fixed. Thanks for reading, if you have any suggestions post them down below!

I'm with you all the way! It does look rather strange, the way we swim and fly. Great blog!

It would be a nice thing for them to add now because of the new underwater temples in 1.8
