Motion Craft
by quillphen
Motion Craft adds weight, momentum and quick visual response to the interfaces Minecraft already has, and runs only on the client.
What it does
Vanilla screens keep their original layouts, textures, information and gameplay. Hotbars, inventories, item pickups, crafting grids, containers and tooltips gain small coordinated motion, so common survival actions feel smoother without any change to how they work. Inventory items settle into their slots once they land, the hotbar selector keeps moving with momentum, and crafting ingredients slide toward the result as it is taken.
The mod can be tuned to taste. A Subtle, Balanced or Expressive preset sets the overall intensity, and individual controls adjust spring strength, hover scale and pickup behavior. Players who prefer gentler feedback can enable Reduced Motion. Because the mod runs on the client, it needs no server-side install, and it is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 26.2.
Key features
Animated inventory actions
Shift-click transfers, number-key swaps, stack merges and equipment-slot placements animate with a short settle.
Pickup travel effects
Picked-up items visibly travel toward their destination in the hotbar or inventory, so it is clear where each item went.
Rare item shine
A newly found rare item gets a subtle shine, so picking up something important is noticed rather than appearing as an unannounced new slot.
Item and container personalities
Different item types follow different motion rules, and containers have their own effect groups instead of one generic sparkle.
Adjustable intensity
Subtle, Balanced and Expressive presets, plus controls for spring strength, hover scale and pickup behavior, set how strong the motion is.
