Description

Sway

Realistic foliage interaction and deformation for Minecraft.

"Bringing your world to life, one blade of grass at a time."


📖 Description

Make your Minecraft forests feel alive!

Sway is a high-performance mod that makes foliage interact and deform when entities pass through them. No more walking through static, ghost-like grass—with Sway, every step you take and every mob that moves creates a physical reaction in the environment, making the world feel much more immersive and reactive.

Built with performance as the top priority, Sway uses an optimized deformation engine to ensure your FPS remains stable even in the lushest jungles.

🌟 Features

  • Dynamic Interaction: Foliage (grass, flowers, ferns, etc.) deforms and bends away from players and mobs.
  • Optimized Engine: Uses a high-performance entity-to-block logic that minimizes CPU and GPU overhead.
  • Double-Block Continuity: Large plants like tall grass and large ferns deform as a single cohesive unit, avoiding visual breaks between the top and bottom halves.
  • Quadratic Bending: Provides a natural, curved deformation where the base stays rooted and the tip bends gracefully.
  • Developer Friendly: Includes a simple API for other modders to make their custom plants compatible with Sway.

⚙️ Compatibility

  • Minecraft Versions:

    • Supported versions: 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 1.21.11 and 26+.
  • Modding Platforms:

    • Fabric: ✅ Fully supported!
  • Mod Compatibility:

    • Works with any mod that uses standard Minecraft foliage models.
    • Custom plants can be registered via the SwayAPI.

📦 Installation

  1. Download the mod: Grab the latest version from Modrinth or CurseForge.
  2. Install Fabric: Ensure you have the Fabric Loader installed for your version.
  3. Add the mod: Place the .jar file into your mods folder.
  4. Launch & Enjoy: Open Minecraft and watch the world react to your presence!

🛠️ Developer API

Sway is designed to be extensible. If you are a mod developer and want your plants to support Sway deformation, you can use the SwayAPI:

// Register your custom block with a 1.2x sway intensity
SwayAPI.register(MyBlocks.CUSTOM_PLANT, 1.2f);

Check out our SwayAPI for more details.
