About this Mod

Animated Inventory - Animated Inventory Version

Banner

Animated Inventory does exactly as the name describes, animates things in the inventory. Giving the inventory some more life and activity.

Animated Inventory is one of my favorite mods due to the amount of customizability it has.
There is only a few themes to choose from:

  • Froggy
  • Christmas
  • Slime
  • WIP Forest
  • WIP Ocean
  • WIP Factory
  • WIP Cat

Each one has it's own style and feel to it and I plan to add more soon <3

If you have any ideas for a custom inventory or have art submission for one feel free to join my discord and tell me about it!

How To Use

When you first install the mod make sure to have Fabric API, Mod Menu, and Cloth Config. If you are using NeoForge ensure you just have Cloth Config!

Once your game has booted you can click on the "Mods" button and then find and click on "Animated Inventory". Here you can modify the mods settings.

Quick Setting Rundown

  • Animation State - Enabled, Paused, Disabled
  • Inventory Theme - Froggy, Christmas, WIP Forest, WIP Ocean, WIP Factory
  • GUI Texture Level - Custom Inventory, Vanilla Inventory
  • Vivid Textures - Yes/No

Detailed Settings Overview

Detailed Settings
  • Animation State
    • Enabled - All animations will play as normal
    • Paused - All animations will no longer tick
    • Disabled - All animations will no longer render
  • Inventory Theme
    • Froggy - A cute frog theme
    • Christmas - A theme to give you the Christmas cheer!
    • Forest WIP - My rough sketch of a more nature-esc theme
  • GUI Texture Level
    • Custom Inventory - Allows the mod to use it's default inventory theme
      • The theme only applies to the survival inventory... for now!
    • Vanilla Inventory - Allows any texture pack you have to do it's thing
  • Vivid Textures
    • Some textures have a slight overlay to make them blend in a bit more, this removes that!

If you load into a game the animated inventory will start in your Survival inventory only! At least for now <3 If enough people seem to care I will finish my efforts of adding it to all the inventories.

Do note, some things are interactable! Perhaps frogs...

Future mod updates and progress will be posted in my discord!
