# Animated Chunks<\/p>\n

![Mod Loader](https:\/\/fabricmc.net)
\n![Enviroment](https:\/\/img.shields.io\/badge\/Enviroment-Client-purple)<\/p>\n

An enhanecd fork of cadenkriese’s mod for the latest versions of the game, with a completely different code base.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

**NOTE: This mod WILL NOT support Sodium, due to some severe incompatibilities**<\/p>\n

## What is this?<\/p>\n

Smooth Chunks is a Fabric mod that adds animations of currently loading chunks. This makes chunk loading generally seem much more pleasant than them appearing out of thin air. There are multiple built-in animations and ease types, and if this isnt’t enough, there’s an API which will allow you to add your own animations and eases (with ease)<\/p>\n

Generally, this is what you’d call an “eye-candy” mod.<\/p>\n

### Currently supported animations:<\/p>\n

– Rise<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

– Fall<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

– Scale<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

– Fly in<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

### Currently supported interpolation types:<\/p>\n

– Linear
\n– Sine
\n– Quadratic
\n– Elastic<\/p>\n

## Future plans<\/p>\n

In the future, I plan to extend the scope of this mod to not only smoothen the chunk loading, but entity spawning\/despawning\/dying, liquid flowing, crops growing etc.<\/p>\n
