Description

This mod adds smooth fade-in and motion animations for chunk loading, like in Minecraft Bedrock Edition and [ChunkAnimator], plus other unique features, like curvature, which curves the world as if it was a spherical planet. It works seamlessly with [Sodium], (mostly) [Distant Horizons] and (mostly) [Iris]. No more chunks appearing right in front of you out of nowhere!
