About this project

What does SmoothChat add?

Replace this with a description

SmoothChat

Bring your Minecraft chat to life with silky-smooth animations.

SmoothChat is a lightweight client-side Fabric mod that transforms Minecraft's chat into a modern, polished experience. Instead of the default rigid movement, every interaction feels fluid, responsive, and satisfying.

Whether you're playing on survival servers, PvP, SMPs, or simply chatting with friends, SmoothChat makes every message feel alive without changing vanilla gameplay.

Replace this with a description

Why SmoothChat?

Vanilla chat feels static and abrupt.

SmoothChat replaces those harsh transitions with natural motion inspired by modern user interfaces while keeping Minecraft's original style intact.

The result is a cleaner, more immersive chat experience that's comfortable to read during gameplay.

Performance

SmoothChat is designed to have minimal performance impact.

The animations are lightweight, efficient, and intended to feel smooth even during fast-paced gameplay.

🎨 Modern. Smooth. Vanilla-friendly.

SmoothChat doesn't reinvent Minecraft's chat—it simply makes it feel the way it always should have.

Smooth animations.
