About this Mod
Animated Inventory - 

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.

- 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!
