🧍‍♂️ Idle Animations

#Idle Animations

With idle animations, you can use particles to create custom animations. There are 120+ effect combinations available, allowing you to make your crate as unique as you like.

#Effect Type

In the drop down below, you’ll find all the available effect types we currently offer.

Effect Types

Effect	Shape	Plan
Default	Simple particle spawn at offset	Lite
Circle	Particles orbit in a flat circle	Lite
Star	Five-pointed star pattern	Lite
Square	Square frame around the crate	Lite
Deltoid	Triangular curved shape	Premium
Astroid	Four-cusped hypocycloid	Premium
Flower	Petal-like flower pattern	Premium
Quatrefoil	Four-lobed clover shape	Premium
Diamond	Diamond-shaped outline	Premium
Ninja Star	Spinning shuriken pattern	Premium
Spiral	Ascending helix spiral	Premium
Conical Spiral	Cone-shaped rising spiral	Premium
Pulse	Expanding ring pulse	Premium

#Particle Type

There are 100 different particle options available for you to choose from for your crate.

• None - This type of particle can't have any special behavior.
• Directional - This type of particles can have a velocity.
• Colorable - This type of particles can have a color.

#Additional Options

• Color - Not all particles support color. Redstone is a well-known particle that can change color, but others may not. If a particle doesn’t support color, this field will be ignored.
• Offset - Defines the position of the effect relative to the crate.
• Radius - Controls the randomness of the effect’s position.
• Amount - Sets the number of particles to display. For example, with a circle pattern and an amount of 2, you’ll see a 2-particle effect. (Recommended to test in-game.)
• Velocity - There are some particles that allow speed. This field allows you to change the speed of each spawned particle.

#Edit an Effect

Once an effect is created, it will appear in the main effects list, where you can Left-Click to edit it. The maximum number of effects you can add is 12.

#In the Config File

Each effect is stored on a single line in the crate file, under idle-effects:

idle-effects:
- CIRCLE;{REDSTONE;#ff0000;0.0;1.0;2.0;0.0;0.0;1}

The format is:

TYPE;{PARTICLE;COLOR;offsetX;offsetY;offsetZ;spread;velocity;amount}

Field	Description
TYPE	The effect type, such as CIRCLE or SPIRAL.
PARTICLE	The particle to use, such as REDSTONE.
COLOR	The particle colour as hex, ignored by particles that cannot be coloured.
offsetX	Position relative to the crate, sideways.
offsetY	Position relative to the crate, height.
offsetZ	Position relative to the crate, depth.
spread	Randomness applied to each particle's position.
velocity	Speed given to each particle, on particles that support it.
amount	How many particles to spawn.

Editing from the editor is easier and safer, but knowing the format helps if you generate crates outside the game.
