🌫️ Better Blur+
Better Blur adds a real, shader-based blur behind your inventory, furnace, smoker, other container screens, chat, and the pause menu using Minecraft's own vanilla blur engine, not a custom re-implementation.
Unlike overlay-based "fake blur" mods, Better Blur+ reuses vanilla's native post-process blur shader, so it renders with the same quality and performance characteristics as Minecraft's built-in menu blur, while extending it to more screens with full control over where it appears.
✨ Features

🎮 Opening the Config Menu
Better Blur+ includes a dedicated keybind to open its settings screen at any time.

- 🧰 If you have Mod Menu installed, you can also open the config from the Mods list.
✅ Why Choose Better Blur+?
Minecraft's vanilla blur is limited to the pause menu. Better Blur+ extends that same native effect to the screens you actually spend the most time in, including your inventory, furnaces, smokers, and chat, without affecting the main menu or loading screens.
Everything is adjustable, including blur radius, animation, and which screens receive the blur effect, all from one simple in-game configuration menu.
