The parallax effect is a cool visual trick that makes your menu backgrounds and elements appear to have depth. When you move your mouse cursor, elements with parallax enabled will move slightly, creating an illusion of 3D space in your 2D menu.
Think of it like when you're riding in a car - things that are closer to you (like road signs) seem to move faster than distant things (like mountains). In FancyMenu, this same idea creates a more dynamic and interactive experience.
In FancyMenu, you can use the parallax effect in two main places:
Adding a parallax effect to your menu background is super easy:
Tip: The higher the intensity value, the more your background will move. Start with a value around 0.3 and adjust to your liking.
You can also add parallax to individual elements to create layered effects:
Create depth by using different parallax intensity values for different elements:
This creates a convincing 3D effect as you move your mouse!
Try setting some elements to Invert Parallax Movement: Enabled and others to Disabled. This makes elements move in opposite directions, enhancing the depth effect.
Too much movement can be distracting. Use parallax effect sparingly, especially with high intensity values.
Adjust the Parallax Intensity value:
The parallax effect is a wonderful way to make your Minecraft menus feel more alive and interactive. Experiment with different combinations of background and element parallax to create stunning, dynamic layouts that respond to your mouse movements!
Remember, the best effects are often subtle - a little movement goes a long way in creating an immersive experience.
