Use Smooth Hud While Mining and Building

Maintain Your Workflow

Smooth Hud does not change how fast you switch items—it only updates the visual animation. Your actual item switching speed remains identical, so your mining and building efficiency is unaffected.

Switch Items Efficiently

During active mining or building:

  • Use number keys (1–9) for instant, predictable hotbar access
  • Use mouse scroll wheel for quick cycling through nearby slots

The selection box will smoothly glide to your chosen item while you continue working.

Enjoy the Visual Polish

The sliding animation makes rapid tool switching look more polished without slowing you down. Whether you're switching from pickaxe to shovel to block placement, the smooth transition keeps your gameplay feeling fluid and responsive.

The mod works seamlessly in all situations—cave mining, surface building, combat, or exploration. No performance impact or gameplay changes occur; it's purely a visual enhancement.
