This mod beautifies the chat interface — when you open the chat, it fades in smoothly, and when you close it, it fades out. Sent messages also fade in from the left side of the screen and eventually fade out in the same direction.
✨ Animated Chat
Summary:
Adds smooth animation effects to the Minecraft chat — messages now fade, slide, and appear dynamically instead of popping instantly.
💬 Overview
Animated Chat makes your in-game chat feel more alive.
Messages smoothly fade in, slide up, or glow depending on your settings — perfect for players who love a polished UI.
(Currently affects only the client; it does not modify chat functionality or server messages.)
⚙️ Features
- 🌀 Smooth fade-in and fade-out animations
- 📜 Sliding text transitions
- 🎨 Optional color blending for message appearance
- ⚙️ Fully client-side — no server dependency
🎥 Demonstration
Due to the nature of chat animation, screenshots cannot fully show the effect.
Watch your chat messages fade, move, and glow as they appear — creating a dynamic and elegant look.
(A short video demonstration will be added later.)
