Typing Animation

Typing Animation

A little motion. A little rhythm. Your own typing style.

Client-only · 4 sound presets · 6 visual presets

Give Minecraft’s text a little personality. Letters animate in and out, edits glide into place, and optional keyboard sounds give each keystroke a character — in chat, commands, search fields, signs and hanging signs. Settled text keeps its vanilla appearance.

▸ Type. Edit. Enjoy.

Insert a word, erase a sentence or paste a message. Text shifts smoothly, while pasted text and autocomplete unfold letter by letter.

✦ Find your favourite motion

Try Slide Right, Zoom Out, Flip, Swing, Roll and Spiral, then pair them with your favourite removal effect.

✧ Pick a mood — new in 1.2

Start with Default · Minimal · Soft · Bouncy · Wave · Glitch. Select a preset, press Apply, then fine-tune it in the live preview. Presets change motion and the cursor; your sound settings and choice of fields stay yours. Manual edits appear as Custom.

♪ Hear every keystroke — new in 1.2

Four sound families with distinct key, space, Backspace and Enter feedback. Adjust volume, pitch and pitch variation, mute deletion or Enter separately, and use Test Sound to listen before enabling.

Sounds are off by default, including after updating. Enable them in the Sound tab. Pasting makes at most one sound; cursor navigation and automatic field updates stay quiet.

│ A cursor that follows you

Smooth horizontal and vertical movement, with its own speed setting. Keep the vanilla cursor or choose a bar, underline or translucent block; pick a colour and thickness to match your style.

▣ Leave a sign

Animations and optional typing sounds work while editing ordinary and hanging signs, across all four lines. Text colours, glowing text and normal editing controls stay intact.

Make it yours

Four tidy settings tabs: Animations · Cursor · Fields · Sound. Tune appearance and removal separately, cap paste delays, choose where the mod runs, and explore motion in the live preview with Demo.

Open Options → Typing Animation…, the Config button in Forge/NeoForge’s mod list, or Mod Menu on Fabric. Individual controls apply immediately; a visual preset uses Apply. Settings are saved in config/typinganimation.json.

/ Commands keep their colours

Syntax highlighting stays intact while typing and completing commands with Tab.

Install & recommended companion

Download the JAR for your Minecraft version and loader, then put it in mods. Install on your client; the server does not need the mod. Fabric API is not required.

Recommended for Fabric/Quilt: Mod Menu — opens the settings directly from your mod list. It is an optional dependency: Modrinth · CurseForge.

🇷🇺 Коротко на русском

Плавный набор в чате, командах, поиске и обычных и подвесных табличках. 17 эффектов появления, 10 эффектов удаления, отдельные длительность и интенсивность, 10 кривых плавности и «Авто».

Новое в 1.2: четыре звуковых профиля — печатная машинка, механическая клавиатура, мягкий звук и ноутбук. Есть громкость, тон, разброс тона, отдельные звуки удаления и Enter и кнопка прослушивания. Звук изначально выключен; включается во вкладке «Звук».

Шесть готовых наборов анимации выбираются кнопкой и применяются через «Применить». Звуковые настройки и выбранные поля сохраняются. Курсору можно задать форму, цвет, толщину и плавность движения по двум осям. Четыре вкладки — «Анимации», «Курсор», «Поля», «Звук», живой предпросмотр и «Демо» помогают подобрать свой вариант.

Настройки → Анимация ввода…. Для Fabric/Quilt рекомендуем Mod Menu по ссылкам выше; зависимость необязательная. Мод только клиентский, Fabric API не нужен. Цвета команд сохраняются, книги поддерживаются с 1.21.6. Автор — AlexFirst.
