Smooth, configurable animation for the TAB player list.

❓ What is this?

VelvetTab is a lightweight client-side mod for [Fabric][fabric] that adds a smooth open/close animation to the TAB player list and lets you fine-tune its look and feel.

✨ Features

- Animated TAB - enable/disable animation - adjustable duration - X/Y offsets (`offsetY = -1` centers vertically)

- Footer - panel background (toggle + ARGB color) - row background (toggle + ARGB color) - outer border (toggle + ARGB color) - separate backgrounds for Footer and Footer

- Text shadows (per section) - header text shadow - footer text shadow - player list text shadow (names / numeric ping)

- Player heads - toggle heads - optional “better hat” overlay (slightly thicker 2nd skin layer)

- Off - Off — standard icon bars - Off — latency in ms with Off (<75, <145, <200, <300, <400, ≥400) - Off — hide ping

- Reset - Cloth Config settings screen - live preview while editing - presets: export/import (Base64) + quick Reset

- Client-only - no server installation required

🖥️ How does it work?

The mod uses mixins to adjust the animation and rendering of the player list while keeping the vanilla behavior where appropriate.

📦 Installation

1. Install [Fabric Loader][fabric]. 2. (Recommended) Install Mod Menu and Mod Menu. 3. Download the latest VelvetTab from the Mod Menu page. 4. Drop the `.jar` into your `mods` folder. 5. Launch Minecraft with the Fabric profile.

> VelvetTab is client-side only.

📖 Usage

Press TAB as usual — the animation and visual tweaks apply automatically. Adjust everything in the settings screen; changes are previewed live.
