The breathing effect also applies to loading screen tips.

❓ Why This Mod Exists

I originally created this mod solely to enable tips in the pause menu for Minecraft 1.12.2, as this feature was missing in older versions of the Tips mod. Later, I expanded it by adding a customizable breathing effect to enhance the visual experience.
