Description
When new chunks are loaded in vanilla minecraft they simply "appear instantly", with this mod they can be animated to either appear from below or above. This mod shouldn't impact fps considerably because all it does is render chunks "somewhere else".
Usage
Once you install this mod it will be in mode 0, that means that all chunks will appear from below. In the config file you can switch between 5 modes and also change the duration of the animation. In addition you can also enable an option that makes chunks that are close to the player not animate
You can also change the easing function that is used in the animation, this is a website where you can compare them.
This mod supports forges config menu so you can switch between modes,easing function etc. ingame.
Media
Mode 0-2
Mode 4
Feel free to add this mod to your modpack
It doesn't work. I put it in my mod folder with Forge and nothing is working.
Hey, Can you add a new animation? If you added a fade animation it would look far more realistic, Thanks.
For anyone using Optifine and This Mod:
Make Sure You have Render Regions turned Off
You can find the Render Regions config following this path:
Options > Video Settings > Performance > Render Regions: On/Off
PS: I don't know if someone commented about this yet but I thought I would share this info anyways
Add a fade-in animation, as if from a fog. From transparency to opacity.
In reply to remreider:
Agreed. This would be a lovely addition, nice and unobtrusive.
Yo awesome mod!
Why is this mod not on Minecraft 1.14? It would make Minecraft 1.14 a lot better! (i wonder if i will get spam warning again lol)
Forge doesn't show a config option on 1.13.2? very confused on how to manually config this
In reply to MasterJacobE:
in your minecraft folder go to config and than open %ModName%.cfg with your preffered text editor.
notepad will do.
Very cool mod that's just 5 of 5. I would like to have 5 mod drawing chunks as minecraft windows 10 edition there it is smooth, not immediately appears and gradually.
Even a GIF made:https://giphy.com/gifs/1ZDHm32T8xfaHhSIPa
SOOOOOOO COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLL
This mod looks great and keeps chunks from just popping in, and even works perfectly with cubic chunks it seems :D
Though one question, in the settings for mode 2, it says it decides based on the horizon, which seems to be around Y=64 ish. Could you add some extra options, to make it be dependent on player view height, as well an option to make it depend on a custom Y height option?
I want to make a world with floating islands where the ground comes up and the islands fall down, but with the horizon definition being so low, the hills and mountains fall down when I want them to rise up.
edit: Another cubic chunks related request. Could you please set it so that the animation only plays when above and below configurable Y coordinates? When a kilometer or two in the air or underground, the animation has so much range to cover that it's basically vanilla but delayed.
In reply to deliphin:
This is how I thought the horizon setting would work, and I agree it would be nice. I think it's perfect for dimensions like the Nether where it's awkward to see ceilings float up through the ground or floors fall down from above, no matter where you are.
Per-dimension configs would be ideal then too.
For anybody having issue's with this not working try turning Optifine's Render Regions: OFF worked for me.

In reply to Yuwee:
Thank you!
I don’t know why people are replying saying to turn fast render off, though. Chunk Animator works fine with fast render on. It’s the render regions option in OptiFine’s “Performance” settings that causes Chunk Animator not to work, like Yuwee said.
I am on forge 1.12.2-14.23.4.2705, and this mod sadly doesn't seem to be working for me. Although I do realize that it says the author updated the mod back in 2017, it oddly has the correct current version number and typical update time of the mod at the time of this post. Is that a site error?
