Block Motion
by Macaroon3145
Block Motion gives placed, mined and broken blocks a springy animation, so block changes read as movement rather than instant swaps.
What it does
When a block is placed it bounces into position, and mining it causes a natural wobble before it breaks. A block whose mining is cancelled slides back to its resting place, and a broken block shrinks away instead of vanishing at once. Connected blocks such as doors and beds are handled too, so paired halves animate together.
The mod runs on the client only, so a player can add it to a single-player world or a multiplayer client without any server-side install. Fabric API is required as a dependency. Builds exist for 26.2 and 26.3, with 0.5.0 for 26.3 as the latest file, and the code is released under the MIT License, though the project is not open source.
Key features
Placement bounce
Blocks settle into place with a short springy motion instead of appearing in a fixed spot.
Mining movement
Breaking a block produces a natural movement before it is removed from the world.
Cancelled mining recovery
If mining stops early, the block returns smoothly to its original position.
Shrinking removal
Broken blocks shrink away rather than disappearing abruptly, keeping the change visible.
