Mining & Placing Animations
by Gauraaaaaaaa
Mining & Placing Animations gives blocks a short animation when a player mines or places them, and the animations are defined by resource packs.
What it does
Blocks show an animation while they are broken and when they are set down. Each animation is a JSON file placed in the animations folder of a resource pack, so pack authors can add as many as they like. The mod requires Fabric API and is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. Only the client needs it, so servers run without it.
Key features
Mining animations
Blocks play a custom animation while a player is breaking them, defined by the pack's animation files.
Placing animations
A separate animation plays when a block is placed, configured with the same JSON format as mining.
Resource pack driven
Animations are read from the animations directory of resource packs, so changes need no code or config edits.
