📖 What's this mod?
Chat Impressive Animation (CIA) is developed based on Chat Animation. Compared to the original mod, this mod adds more animation effects and detailed designs, and includes a configuration file to freely customize each feature. Most importantly, this mod supports Fabric, Forge, and Neoforge, all of which are required.
For mc versions 1.20.4 and below, Forge support is also provided, but message sending animations are not supported.
Note: This mod is not related to the real-life CIA, only the abbreviated name is the same.
