AR1 Animated Typing
AR1 Animated Typing is a Fabric client mod that animates characters as they are typed into text fields, instead of having them appear instantly.
What it does
When a player types, deletes or moves through text, each character can enter, leave or change with one of ten motion styles, from a gentle fade to a jittery glitch. Newly typed characters start in the chosen accent color and transition smoothly to the default text color. The animation speed is adjustable, with eight presets from 100 ms to 1000 ms.
The mod works across the game, including the chat box, search fields and rename screens. Its translations cover 14 languages. It is licensed under All rights reserved and is not open source. It needs Fabric API, Cloth Config API and Mod Menu, and it runs on the client alone, so only players install it and servers do not.
Some text should not be animated. The mod detects password fields and certain commands, and it turns the animation off there so typed values are not shown in a way that could leak them. Pairing it with AR1 Hide Password keeps masked values hidden as well.
Key features
Ten animation styles
Characters can enlarge, slide in, stretch, fade, flicker or drop as they appear or disappear.
Accent color transition
New characters begin in a chosen accent color and fade into the default text color over the animation.
Adjustable speed
Eight speed presets run from 100 ms to 1000 ms, so the effect can be tuned to a faster or slower pace.
Protected fields
Password fields and certain commands turn the animation off automatically to avoid exposing hidden values.
