Vivid Interface Motion Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn off animations I don't like?
Open the mod settings screen from your main menu or pause screen, then toggle individual animation options on or off—you can disable chat animations, container animations, hotbar animations, or item motion effects independently.
What is debug mode and when should I use it?
Debug mode displays screen class names and slot numbers on your screen, which you need to see if you're creating custom animations through datapacks; enable it in the settings menu.
Can I make animations play only for specific inventory slots?
Yes, you can create custom slot animations by placing a JSON file in your datapack at `data/ /window_slots/ .json` and using the debug mode to identify which slots you want to animate.
Do these animations affect my FPS or server performance?
The mod is designed to be lightweight, but if you experience lag, you can disable specific animation types in settings or use the performance optimization guide to reduce visual complexity while keeping animations enabled.
Why aren't my chat animations showing up?
Check that chat animations are enabled in the mod settings menu; also make sure you're actually receiving chat messages in-game, as animations only trigger when text appears on screen.
Do container animations work with modded storage blocks?
Most modded containers work automatically, but some may not animate if they use custom screen classes; you can use debug mode to check the class name and create a custom animation datapack for unsupported containers.
Can I adjust how fast or slow the animations play?
The settings menu lets you turn animations on or off, and custom datapacks allow detailed control over animation timing and motion effects for specific slots or screens.
What happens if I disable all animations?
Your menus, hotbar, and chat will function normally without any motion effects—you can re-enable them anytime in the settings menu.
Do hotbar animations play when I switch items or only when I select them?
Hotbar animations trigger whenever you switch or select active items, creating a visual response to your item changes.
Will this mod work with other mods that modify menus or GUIs?
The mod is generally compatible with other GUI mods, but conflicts can occur if multiple mods heavily modify the same screens; test in-game and use debug mode to identify problematic screens if needed.
