animations_config.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",
],
