guianima
by arch-mc
guianima animates the opening and closing of Minecraft's interface screens, so the inventory, Tab player list and other panels slide, fade or scale into view.
What it does
Instead of appearing at once, menus and panels in the interface move in with a short animation when they open and close. The effect covers the inventory, the Tab player list and other interface panels, and it changes only how the screens look and feel, not how the game plays. The mod is a Fabric build for 1.21.11 and runs on the client alone, so servers do not need it. It is distributed under All rights reserved and is not open source.
