Questions about Smooth Scrolling.
4 questions
How do I open the Smooth Scrolling settings?
Open the settings screen from the Mod Menu screen, where you can adjust each animation speed. You can also edit the config file at .minecraft/config/smoothscroll.json. After saving changes, press F3+T inside a world to reload resources and apply them.
Does Smooth Scrolling work on NeoForge?
Yes, through the Sinytra Connector mod. The mod is not native to NeoForge and the creator has no plans for a native port. On the first launch the game may say it is incompatible. Ignore that message and restart Minecraft.
Does Smooth Scrolling work on multiplayer servers?
It is a client-side mod, so you install it only on your own game. Hosts do not need it and it is unsupported on them. It changes how your own screens animate, such as chat and the hotbar, not what other players see.
Which screens does Smooth Scrolling animate?
It smooths chat, hotbar scrolling, the creative inventory and the server, world and resource pack lists. The creator says it covers more screens beyond these. Each animation speed can be customised through the settings screen or the config file.
