animations_config.json: ```json { "global": { // all the blocks will have these animations by default "mining_animation": "mining_and_placing_animations:animations/global_mining_animation", "placing_animation": "mining_and_placing_animations:animations/global_placing_animation" }, "specific": [ // you can set a specific animation for certain block(s) { "blocks": [ "minecraft:dirt", "minecraft:stone", "#minecraft:slabs" // you can use tags ], "mining_animation": "mining_and_placing_animations:animations/dirt_mining_animation", "placing_animation": "mining_and_placing_animations:animations/dirt_placing_animation" }, { "blocks": [ "minecraft:cobblestone" ], "mining_animation": "mining_and_placing_animations:animations/cobblestone" // if you don't put a 'placing_animation', it will take the global placing animation, same for the mining animation } ], "mining_blacklist": [ "#minecraft:beds", // you can use tags "#minecraft:doors", "minecraft:oak_planks", ], "placing_blacklist": [ "#minecraft:pressure_plates", "minecraft:rail", "minecraft:snow_block" ] } ```

The animation files have to be under the directory 'animations'.

dirt_mining_animation.json (example of a possible mining animation, same for the placing animation): ```json { "duration": 0. 15, // length of the animation in seconds "pivot_point": , "keyframes": [ { "time": 0. 0, "translation": , "rotation": [-22. 5, 0. 0, 45. 0], "scale": }, { "time": 0. 05, "translation": , "rotation": , "scale": }, { "time": 0. 10, "translation": , "rotation": , "scale": }, { "time": 0. 15, "translation": , "rotation": , "scale": } ] } ```

You can have as many animations as you want!
