Motion Blur Plus
by spunkyinsaan
Motion Blur Plus gives the Fabric client a clean motion blur effect that players can switch on and off, with intensity set from 0% to 100%.
What it does
Motion Blur Plus limits itself to one visual effect. Instead of bundling a full shader pack, it adds only motion blur, with configurable frame blending. Players can change the intensity from 0% to 100%, and toggle the effect at any time, so it can be kept off for PvP or competitive play and turned on for smoother camera movement while exploring.
The mod is built to keep frame rates high. Its author describes it as lightweight, with almost no FPS loss compared with traditional shaders, and says the effect draws only modest GPU resources. That makes it an option for mid-range and low-end PCs as well as stronger machines. It runs on the client only, so servers do not need it and players join without installing it.
The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files are published for Fabric only, across seven release versions, 1.21.10 – 26.3. The latest file is 26.3 for 26.3, dated 2026-09-26, and the mod has a public issue tracker.
