Modulation

Modulation

Modulation is a growing collection of handy quality-of-life tweaks, bug fixes, visual improvements, and cross-mod integrations. Instead of cluttering your modpack with a dozen single-feature mods, Modulation packs them all into one highly customizable package.

Everything is completely modular, so you can turn off whatever you don't need and tweak options to match your modpack!

Figura Enhancements

Upgrade your avatar management experience with Figura!

• Support for vanilla target selectors like @a, @p, @s, or @e in /figura load and /figura clear commands, letting you update skins for multiple players simultaneously.
• Tab-completion autofill for local skins saved in your figura/avatars folder (both folders and .zip files).

GUI & Controls

User interface and control QoL improvements:

• Hold Control while clicking or dragging items in your inventory to transfer them straight into the crafting grid. Works best when paired with Mouse Tweaks.
• Option to remove/disable the Creative inventory tab, adding a clear/destroy item button to the survival inventory in Creative mode (with configurable X/Y offsets).
• Customize how long chat messages stay on screen before fading.
• Markdown formatting support in chat messages (**bold**, *italic*, ~~strikethrough~~, and ~underline~).
• Cursor Feedback: the mouse cursor changes shape over buttons, sliders, text fields, scroll bars, disabled widgets, and clickable text links.
• Slot hover highlights render mostly behind the item instead of washing over it, as in 1.21.2+. Uses the vanilla sprite paths, so resource packs made for 1.21.2+ should work as expected.
