About this project
What does Chunk Animator add?
Description
When new chunks are loaded in vanilla minecraft they simply "appear instantly", with this mod they can be animated to either appear from below or above. This mod shouldn't impact fps considerably because all it does is render chunks "somewhere else".
Usage
Once you install this mod it will be in mode 0, that means that all chunks will appear from below. In the config file you can switch between 5 modes and also change the duration of the animation. In addition you can also enable an option that makes chunks that are close to the player not animate
You can also change the easing function that is used in the animation, this is a website where you can compare them. To learn more about how the animations can be configured, visit this page on the config.
On versions 1.12.2 and below, this mod supports Forge's built-in config menu so you can switch between modes, easing function, etcetera in-game.
OptiFine
OptiFine is supported, however on 1.14.4 and above for the chunks to be animated you will need to make sure the “render regions” option is disabled. This can be found under the Performance screen in Video Settings.
Media
Old demonstrations by Lumien have been taken down for whatever reason, new ones coming soon.
Licensing
Permission is hereby granted to use this mod in ANY mod pack or server. Attribution would be nice but isn't required.
Fabric
There is a Fabric equivalent available for 1.16 called Smooth Chunks which is very similar to this mod - please do not ask for Fabric support!
