Smooth Swapping Mod FAQ

The mod is active by default once installed, so item movement animations should already play when you shift-click or use hotbar swap keys. If nothing is animating, check that the mod is enabled in your mod loader and that no other inventory mod is overriding it.

Another inventory or animation mod is likely taking over the same slot movement, or the animation duration is set so low it looks instant. Try disabling conflicting inventory mods or raising the animation duration in the config.

Yes, shift-clicking items between your inventory and containers is one of the main actions that triggers the smooth movement animation. The item visually travels from its old slot to the new one instead of appearing instantly.

Yes, using the number keys or your hotbar swap keybinds to move items between the hotbar and inventory also animates smoothly. This applies to both directions of the swap.

The mod's animation is tied to your framerate, so below roughly 30 FPS it becomes visibly choppy. Improving your FPS or lowering the animation duration can make it feel smoother.

Yes, the config lets you adjust the animation duration so items travel faster or slower. Shorter durations feel snappier, longer ones look more deliberate.

Yes, the config includes curve options that control the easing of the movement, such as whether it accelerates, decelerates, or moves at a steady pace. Pick the curve that matches the feel you want.

The config has per-screen options, so you can enable or disable the animation for specific interfaces like the inventory, chests, or other containers. This is useful if one screen feels laggy or you prefer instant movement there.

It generally works alongside most mods, but inventory overhaul or sorting mods that also animate or instantly move slots can conflict. If animations break or items jump, test with those mods disabled to find the culprit.

The animation itself is lightweight, but it depends on your framerate to look smooth, so low-FPS setups notice it most. If you're struggling, shorten the duration or disable it per-screen in the config.
