About
Smooth Swapping is a client side mod that animates item movement inside of inventories.
It is avaible for Fabric and Forge (since Minecraft version 1.19.4)
Eventhough it is written using Architectury it does not need the Aechtectury API, neither for Forge or Fabric
If you use the Fabric version you need the Fabric API and you will need Modmenu to able to access the settings menu
