Snapless

What it does

Vanilla Minecraft snaps the inventory/hotbar slot highlight instantly from one slot to another. This mod replaces that instant snap with a smooth, fully customizable animation — everywhere the highlight appears, including your hotbar during normal gameplay.

Features

• 4 animation styles: Fade, Slide, Bounce, or Default (no animation)

• Adjustable duration (100–1000ms) and easing on/off

• Custom fill color with an optional rainbow cycle (adjustable speed) and its own opacity slider

• Separate outline: its own color/rainbow, thickness (1–4px) and opacity, fully independent from the fill

• Trail effect for Slide — a fading, shrinking ghost trail behind the highlight

• Breathing — a subtle idle pulse while you hover a slot

• Soft glow — a softer halo instead of a hard-edged square

• Behind item — draw the highlight behind the item instead of tinting it

• Item grow — the item itself grows slightly on hover, with an adjustable size (1.1x–1.5x)

• Hotbar highlight — the same animated highlight on your selected hotbar slot during normal play, with an adjustable vertical offset

• Everything is configured through a Mod Menu screen — no keybinds, no config file editing

Requirements

• Fabric Loader

• Mod Menu (optional, but required to access the settings screen since there are people who don't like the default settings of the mod)

Compatibility

Minecraft 1.21.1-1.21.11 (Fabric).
