About

Smooth Swapping is a client side mod that animates item movement inside of inventories.

  • It is avaible for Fabric and Forge (since Minecraft version 1.19.4)
  • Eventhough it is written using Architectury it does not need the Archtectury API, neither for Forge or Fabric
  • If you use the Fabric version you need the Fabric API and you will need ModMenu to able to access the settings menu
