Better Chat
Makes the chat box smoother and more elegant.
About this Mod
This mod beautifies the chat interface — when you open the chat, it fades in smoothly, and when you close it, it fades out.
Sent messages also fade in from the left side of the screen and eventually fade out in the same direction.
✨ Animated Chat
Summary:
Adds smooth animation effects to the Minecraft chat — messages now fade, slide, and appear dynamically instead of popping instantly.
💬 Overview
Animated Chat makes your in-game chat feel more alive.
Messages smoothly fade in, slide up, or glow depending on your settings — perfect for players who love a polished UI.
(Currently affects only the client; it does not modify chat functionality or server messages.)
⚙️ Features
- 🌀 Smooth fade-in and fade-out animations
- 📜 Sliding text transitions
- 🎨 Optional color blending for message appearance
- ⚙️ Fully client-side — no server dependency
🎥 Demonstration
Due to the nature of chat animation, screenshots cannot fully show the effect.
Watch your chat messages fade, move, and glow as they appear — creating a dynamic and elegant look.
(A short video demonstration will be added later.)

Does Better Chat need to be installed on the Minecraft server?
No. Modrinth marks Better Chat as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.
Which version and loader does Better Chat require?
Use a file for forge and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 1.20.1. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.
Better Chat is not working – what should I check?
First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
