Description

Ever thought that the world behind your inventory was just too distracting? Then this is the mod for you!

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: Versions for 1.14 snapshots require Fabric.
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:

Get lost in your GUIs!

Gorgeous rainy evening with you and your blur:

Works with shaders!

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.
