Chunk Animator

In vanilla Minecraft, new chunks appear instantly without any animation. This mod changes this behavior by adding smooth chunk appearance animation. You can configure the animation direction: from below, above, or from the sides relative to the player's position.

Performance

The mod has minimal impact on frame rate since it only changes the way chunks are rendered by moving them in space during loading.

Configuration

By default, chunks animate from below using the Sine easing function. All parameters can be modified through the configuration file config/chunkanimator-client.toml located in the Minecraft folder. Various animation customization options are available.

OptiFine Compatibility

The mod supports OptiFine, but for proper animation to work, you need to disable the render regions option (set to false). This parameter can be found in the "Performance" menu of the "Video Settings" section or as ofRenderRegions in the optionsof.txt file.
