About this Mod

When new chunks are loaded in vanilla Minecraft, they simply "appear instantly". With this mod they can be animated to either appear from below, above, or their horizontal direction relative to the player.

Performance

This mod should not impact FPS considerably because all it does is render chunks "somewhere else".

Usage

By default, chunks will animate from below using a Sine easing function. This can be changed to a number of different configurations using the config, which can be found in config/chunkanimator-client.toml relative to the Minecraft directory. For more information on these options, see the Wiki page.

OptiFine

OptiFine is supported, however for the chunks to be animated you will need to make sure the render regions option is disabled (set to false). This can be found under the Performance screen in Video Settings, or as ofRenderRegions in the optionsof.txt file relative to the Minecraft directory.

Licensing

Permission is hereby granted to use this mod in ANY mod pack or server. Attribution would be nice but isn't required.

Old versions

Due to the amount of time it takes moving versions from one platform to another, versions made for Minecraft versions below 1.16 will not be published on Modrinth. They can be found on the CurseForge page if required.
