This simple mod adds fade-in animation for chunks, like in Bedrock Edition of Minecraft. And, if you want to, animations like in ChunkAnimator mod. No more chunks appearing right in front of you out of nowhere! Unlike other mods for Fabric, it works perfectly fine with Sodium and Iris(also Optifine in future updates)!

*The original idea is taken from Fade In Chunks mod, which was abandoned by its developer. However, Sodium has updated a lot since these times. So old code is almost unusable in new versions of Minecraft.

*The Smooth Chunks mod was abandoned. Fl0gic (cadenkriese in GitHub) allowed me to use its updated icon in my mod. Thanks to him :)

• Install it from the official page by clicking the link above.

• Navigate to the config folder inside your Minecraft installation folder (usually .minecraft). If there's no config folder, create one.

• Paste the following text inside:

{
  "version": 1,
  "overrides": {
    "chunksfadein": {
      "+depends": {
        "embeddium": ">0.2.18+mc1.20.1"
      },
      "-depends": {
        "sodium": "IGNORED"
      }
    }
  }
}

• Save the file and restart/launch the game.
• Done!

• 1.18.x
• 1.19.x
• 1.20.x

• Sodium 0.4.x or 0.5.x (depending on version)
