Please note that Mine-imator 2.0 is not compatible with AMD or integrated graphics cards, and attempting to use it on such devices may lead to poor performance, graphics artifacts, and crashes relating to high-quality rendering.

If you encounter any of these issues, we recommend downgrading to Mine-imator version 1.2.9.

You likely have Simple mode enabled, which will hide several advanced animation options that may be overwhelming for newer users.

If you see the text "Simple mode enabled" in the top-right of the screen, click on it to bring up the dialog for upgrading Mine-imator. (Upgrading is free, but donations are appreciated for helping keep the websites up.)

In case the animation tools (selection highlights and draggable position arrows / rotation wheels) are not showing up in the viewport, you may have accidentally switched to a different tool, or disabled the tools entirely.

Simply find the tool selector underneath the workbench icon at the top-left of the viewport, and select the tool(s) you need (you can also do this using keyboard shortcuts).

If the tools are disabled, find the "Enable overlays" option in the toolbar just above the viewport (the button that looks like a circle with three arrows coming out of it).

Since Mine-imator 2.0, all elements of a project now only do stuff when the animation is playing, including particles.

Simply play the animation or drag the playback marker forward in the timeline, and any particle spawners in the project should now start creating particles.

If your world was loaded since Minecraft 1.20, make sure you are using Mine-imator version 2.0.2 and not 2.0.0, as Minecraft 1.20 assets were not supported before then.

You may otherwise be trying to load a world containing features or assets that Mine-imator does not support (modded worlds, worlds made in very recently released updates, etc.), or different parts of your world might have been loaded in multiple versions of Minecraft.

If your world was generated in multiple versions of Minecraft, it may help to optimize the world in-game. (Open up the most recent release of Minecraft, select your world, click the "Edit" button, and then "Optimize World".)

Mine-imator will often times turn objects behind or inside of transparent objects (e.g. water, stained glass) invisible. This is often referred to as the "Alpha glitch."

To fix this, find the object's "Object properties" tab (this usually comes up when selecting the object), click the "Appearance" drop-down (make sure you're in Advanced mode), and change the object's 'Render Depth' number to anything that fixes the issue (Objects with higher render depths will render any objects with lower render depths behind them, kinda like layers. This won't work for camera effects like depth of field.).

Alternatively, setting the object's "Alpha mode" to "Hashed" changes the way transparent objects are handled by the rendering engine, allowing for minimal issues regarding transparency. (Pixels are taken out of the object at random and smoothened out by the Sampling system. Use "Extreme" or "Custom" render settings to set the sample count higher and reduce the grainy appearance.)

This glitch is useful for creating holes and crevices in a surface without remodeling or retexturing an object in any way, a common practice for most user-made facial rigs in Mine-imator.

You may have "Seamless looping" activated, which basically tells Mine-imator that the keyframes at the end of a project should transition into the keyframes at the beginning.

The looping option can be found at the right of the toolbar above the project timeline, and can be clicked three times to cycle between each looping mode (Enable looping, Enable seamless looping, and Disable looping).

This usually happens after reinstalling or upgrading to a newer version of Mine-imator.

As long as you haven't deleted the file directory containing your projects, they should still exist. You'll just have to find them and open them again manually using the "Browse..." or "Open project" buttons.

Mine-imator may not have loaded up Minecraft's resources properly.

This can usually be fixed by going to %AppData% > Roaming, and deleting the 'Mine-imator' folder. This will get Mine-imator to re-extract Minecraft's assets after starting it up again (This won't delete your projects and shouldn't mess up anything too important.).

 Ergonomically correct!
