Finement
by Yedel
Finement, by Yedel, is a client-side Forge and Ornithe mod for Minecraft 1.8.9 that adds quality-of-life gameplay changes to the game.
What it does
Finement changes how the client draws and handles several in-game elements. It adds a client-side hurt animation, an auto-block behavior, and a zero-person perspective view. Perspective-dependent field of view is adjusted with the camera angle, and item rendering is smoothed in the inventory slots. Tooltips with no content are not drawn, and the client can silently refuse server resource packs.
Only the client needs the mod, so players can install it on their own game without any change on the server. Forge and Ornithe builds are published for 1.8.9, with version 2.0.0 as the latest file for both loaders, dated 2026-10-02. OneConfig is required and is bundled inside the mod, so no separate install is needed for it.
The source code and issue tracker are public, and the code is under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. The project is open source, and it has been published since 2024-09-02 and last updated on 2026-10-02.
Key features
Client-side hurt animation
The red flash shown when the player takes damage is drawn on the client, so the effect is applied locally.
Auto-block
A client-side auto-block behavior lets the player hold a block action without repeating the input.
Zero-person perspective
A 0th person view places the camera at the player's own position for a first-person style display.
Smooth slot hovering and item rendering
Hovered inventory slots and item models are rendered with smoother transitions and a snapped layout.
Empty tooltips and resource packs
Tooltips with no text are not drawn, and server resource pack prompts can be declined without a dialog.
