Adds satisfying click and hover animations to buttons
About this Mod
Button Animations
Button Animations is a lightweight client-side mod that improves how Minecraft buttons feel.
Instead of the default hover outline, buttons smoothly scale up when hovered and ease back down when clicked, creating a cleaner and more responsive UI. The result is subtle, satisfying feedback that makes menus feel more polished without changing their layout or functionality.
