Project overview
Ever thought that the world behind your inventory was just too distracting? Or that the default Minecraft blur effect is just too boring? Then this mod is just right for you! Old description below: Blur adds a Gaussian blur shader to the background of all GUIs, which fades into give it a sleek look. It is also highly configurable, so you can tune the look of the mod to your liking. Click here for a massive gif demonstration! NOTE: This is the Fabric version of Blur, for the Forge version, look here . You can configure the strength of the blur in the config file with the "radius" option. Here is a demonstration of a few different radii: Change the background colors and gradient! Get lost in your GUIs! Gorgeous rainy evening with you and your blur: Works with shaders! Currently doesn't work with Optifine shaders due to an issue with Satin - consider using Canvas instead. Explanation of Config Settings radius As explained above, this controls how "strong" the blur is. If you are experiencing performance problems, lower this. fadeTime This is the time it takes for the blur to "fade in", in milliseconds. gradientStart/EndColor The colors to use for the overlay on all GUI backgrounds. The value here is a hexadecimal color value, in the format ARGB (alpha first, then rgb). Because the background is a gradient, two colors can be specified. The default is black with a 45% alpha value (75000000). guiExclusions A list of classes to be excluded from the blur shader. This is to be used for GUIs which do not necessarily cover the screen. It defaults to containing only one GUI, the chat.
