Animaticam

by valterasu

Animaticam is a Fabric client mod that gives menus, screens and vanilla inventory chests customizable entry animations.

What it does

The mod animates the menus and screens of the game, including the main menu, the inventory and chests. Ten animation types are available, among them smooth fades, slides from the bottom or top, zoom in and out, combined motions, a bounce and an elastic effect. Each one can be tuned, so the look of the transition is set by the player rather than fixed by the mod.

Animaticam is client-side only, so a player installs it alone and servers do not need it. It requires Fabric and runs on Minecraft 1.20.1, the only game version with a file. The latest file is 1.0, published on 2025-12-23 under the MIT License, which is not an open source license for the project as a whole.

Key features

  1. Ten animation types

    Fade, slide, zoom, bounce and elastic motions can be chosen for screen openings, plus combined variants such as fade with slide.

  2. Adjustable timing

    Duration can be set between 0.1 and 3.0 seconds, and playback speed between 0.1x and 5.0x.

  3. Starting values

    The initial scale, slide distance and initial transparency of an animation can each be changed to control where it begins.

  4. Vanilla screens

    The effects apply to the main menu, inventory and chests, which are the screens a player opens most often.

Compatibility

Use cases

Restyling the main menu

A player can pick a slower, more pronounced entrance for the main menu and keep the default timing for other screens.

Subtle transitions

A short fade or a small slide distance gives screens a quieter opening than the full zoom effects.

Who it’s for: Players who want the opening of menus and inventory screens to look different from vanilla, and who are playing on Fabric for 1.20.1.
