Chunk fade in mod

This mod adds smooth fade-in and motion animations for chunk loading, like in Minecraft Bedrock Edition and ChunkAnimator, plus other unique features. It works seamlessly with Sodium, (mostly) Iris and Distant Horizons. Also works on Fabric and NeoForge. No more chunks appearing right in front of you out of nowhere!

*The idea for this mod was inspired by Fade In Chunks, which has was abandoned. I did not use a single line of code from it.

*The Smooth Chunks mod was abandoned. Thanks to Fl0gic (@cadenkriese) for allowing the use of the updated mod icon :)

FAQ

Where is source code?

Source code is in version-specific branches, labeled with their corresponding Minecraft versions (e.g. "1.18", "1.19", "1.21.2").

Is Vanilla/OptiFine supported or planned?

No, please use Sodium (or NeoForge forks of it, for example Embeddium).
