About this project
What does Typing Animation add?
Typing Animation
A little motion. A little rhythm. Your own typing style.
Client-only · Shareable presets · Custom sounds · Your own cursor
Give Minecraft's text a little personality. Letters animate in and out, edits glide into place, and optional keyboard sounds give each keystroke a character — in chat, commands, search fields, signs, hanging signs and books. Settled text keeps its vanilla appearance.
Fabric · Forge · NeoForge · English & Russian · No Fabric API required
Modrinth · CurseForge · GitHub — source code
▸ Type. Edit. Enjoy.
Insert a word, erase a sentence or paste a message. Text shifts smoothly, while pasted text and autocomplete unfold letter by letter.
Optional adaptive typing follows your pace: faster keystrokes use shorter animations and gentler sound feedback. Slow typing keeps the full effect. Enable it when you want it; pasting stays one bulk edit.

✦ Find your favourite motion
| Appearance | Removal | Timing |
|---|---|---|
| 17 effects + Off | 10 effects + Off | 10 easing curves + Auto |
| Pop, Wave, Scramble, Flip, Swing, Roll, Spiral and more | Fade, Fall, Scatter, Spin, Squash and more | Separate duration and intensity; adjustable stagger and text glide |

Try Slide Right, Zoom Out, Flip, Swing, Roll and Spiral, then pair them with your favourite removal effect.

✧ Pick a mood
Choose from 16 built-in visual presets. Keep it simple with Default · Minimal · Soft, add character with Bouncy · Wave · Glitch, or try the ten new combinations in 1.5:
| Crisp & familiar | Gentle & spacious | Playful & expressive |
|---|---|---|
| Terminal · Typewriter · Snappy · Retro | Floating · Paper · Cinematic | Elastic · Swing · Orbit |
Select a preset, press Apply, then fine-tune it in the live preview. Presets combine motion with a matching cursor, including its blinking and fade. Your sound settings, enabled fields and interface choices stay yours. Typewriter is a visual style; choose its sound separately in Sound. Manual visual edits appear as Custom.

✧ Share your style · new in 1.3
Save your own combination of animation, cursor and sound under a name. Apply, duplicate or rename it, then export a JSON preset to share with friends. Importing a matching name creates a separate copy. Your enabled fields and interface preferences stay yours.

♪ Hear every keystroke
| Typewriter | Mechanical | Soft | Laptop |
|---|---|---|---|
| A crisp, vintage clack | A tactile keyboard click | A gentle, muted tap | A short, light tick |
Four sound families with distinct key, space, Backspace and Enter feedback. Adjust volume, pitch and pitch variation, mute deletion or Enter separately, and use Test Sound to listen before enabling.
New in 1.3: bring your own Ogg Vorbis sound pack. Drop a ZIP into Sound packs, import it, audition it and press Use. Switch between installed packs without another resource reload. Sound pack format. Presets refer to the selected pack; share its ZIP alongside the preset when it uses custom audio.
Sounds are off by default; your existing sound settings carry over. Enable them in the Sound tab. Pasting makes at most one sound; cursor navigation and automatic field updates stay quiet.

│ A cursor that follows you
Smooth horizontal and vertical movement, with its own speed setting. Keep the vanilla cursor or choose a bar, underline or translucent block; pick a colour and thickness to match your style.
New in 1.3: enter your own HEX colour, adjust the blink period, choose a soft fade, or keep the caret visible while typing. Find the fine controls in Detailed mode.

▣ Leave a sign
Animations and optional typing sounds work while editing ordinary and hanging signs, across all four lines. Text colours, glowing text and normal editing controls stay intact.
▥ Write a book · new in 1.4
Book pages animate while you type and erase, with a smooth cursor. Turning a page displays its contents immediately. Scholar has an optional integration for its two-page editor and signing fields, preserving colours, formatting and alignment. Control page effects with Fields → Multi-line Fields; Scholar is not required.

Make it yours
Choose Basic or Detailed on your first settings visit, then switch modes whenever you like. Basic keeps the essentials close; Detailed exposes timing, intensity, blink and sound controls across compact pages. Switching modes keeps your saved values.

Four settings tabs: Animations · Cursor · Fields · Sound, with a live preview and Demo to try your changes.

Open Options → Typing Animation…, the Config button in Forge/NeoForge's mod list, or Mod Menu on Fabric. Individual controls apply immediately; a visual preset uses Apply. Settings are saved in config/typinganimation.json.
New in 1.5: Fields → Show Button In Game hides the entry in Options opened from the pause menu, while keeping the main-menu entry. This separate switch works without Mod Menu. To hide the button globally, use the separate Options-button switch with Forge/NeoForge's built-in mods list or Mod Menu on Fabric/Quilt.
/ Commands keep their colours
Syntax highlighting stays intact while typing and completing commands with Tab.

▸ More command editors · new in 1.5
Animations, smooth caret motion and optional keyboard sounds now work in CommandBlockUIOverhaul on Forge 1.20.1 / NeoForge 1.21.1 and Better Command Block UI on Fabric/Quilt. Keep their command colours, indentation, selection and scrolling. Enable Fields → Multi-line Fields; neither editor is required. Install each editor's own dependencies when using it, including matching Fabric API for Better Command Block UI on 26.3.
Install & recommended companion
Download the JAR for your Minecraft version and loader, then put it in mods. Install on your client; the server does not need the mod. Fabric API is not required.
Recommended for Fabric/Quilt: Mod Menu — opens the settings directly from your mod list. It is an optional dependency: Modrinth · CurseForge.
Minecraft: 1.20–1.20.1 · 1.21–1.21.1 · 1.21.4 · 1.21.5 · 1.21.6–1.21.8 · 1.21.9–1.21.10 · 1.21.11 · 26.1–26.1.2 · 26.2 · 26.3.
Compatibility notes
Use the Forge file on NeoForge 1.20.1. Quilt support is limited to the Fabric files specifically tagged Quilt. Minecraft 26.3 requires Quilt Loader 0.30.2 or newer. Editable books are supported throughout the Minecraft versions listed above. Install a matching Scholar version if you want its redesigned editor. Mods replacing the standard text renderer may conflict.

🇷🇺 Коротко на русском
Плавный набор в чате, командах, поиске и обычных и подвесных табличках. 17 эффектов появления, 10 эффектов удаления, отдельные длительность и интенсивность, 10 кривых плавности и «Авто».
Новое в 1.3: сохраняйте собственные пресеты анимации, курсора и звука, копируйте, переименовывайте и делитесь ими через импорт и экспорт JSON. Свои звуковые наборы в ZIP с Ogg Vorbis можно импортировать и прослушать в библиотеке. JSON или ZIP можно перетащить в её окно.
Новое в 1.4: анимации страниц книг на всех поддерживаемых версиях и необязательная совместимость со Scholar, включая две страницы и поля подписи. Цвета, форматирование и переносы сохраняются. Перелистывание не запускает эффекты печати; страницы управляются пунктом «Поля → Многострочные поля».
Адаптация к скорости печати ускоряет анимации и приглушает звук при быстром наборе. Включается отдельно. Курсору можно задать HEX-цвет, период и плавность мигания, постоянную видимость при наборе, форму, толщину и плавность движения по двум осям.
При первом входе выберите «Базовый» или «Подробный» интерфейс; режим можно поменять позже без сброса настроек. Четыре вкладки, живой предпросмотр и «Демо» помогают подобрать свой стиль.
Новое в 1.5: «Поля → Кнопка в игре» скрывает вход в настройках из меню паузы, сохраняя вход из главного меню. Mod Menu для этого не нужен. Для общего скрытия кнопки используйте отдельный переключатель и встроенный список модов Forge/NeoForge либо Mod Menu на Fabric/Quilt.
Добавлена необязательная совместимость с CommandBlockUIOverhaul на Forge 1.20.1 / NeoForge 1.21.1 и Better Command Block UI на Fabric/Quilt. Анимации, плавный курсор и звук сохраняют родную подсветку, выделение и прокрутку. Включаются через «Поля → Многострочные поля». Зависимости самих редакторов устанавливаются отдельно; Better Command Block UI для 26.3 нужен подходящий Fabric API.
16 готовых визуальных наборов применяются кнопкой «Применить». В 1.5 добавлены Терминал · Машинка · Быстрый · Парящий · Упругий · Ретро · Маятник · Орбита · Бумажный · Кино. Каждый сочетает движение текста с оформлением и миганием курсора. Ваши звуки, выбранные поля и настройки интерфейса сохраняются; для «Машинки» звук выбирается отдельно.
Четыре встроенных звуковых профиля: печатная машинка, механическая клавиатура, мягкий звук и ноутбук. Звук изначально выключен; включается во вкладке «Звук». Для пресета с собственным звуком передайте другу и JSON, и ZIP-набор.
Настройки → Анимация ввода…. Для Fabric/Quilt рекомендуем Mod Menu по ссылкам выше; зависимость необязательная. Для Minecraft 26.3 нужен Quilt Loader 0.30.2 или новее. Мод только клиентский, Fabric API не нужен. Цвета команд сохраняются. Автор — AlexFirst.
