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", ], "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):

{ "duration": 0.15, // length of the animation in seconds "pivot_point": [0.5, 1.0, 0.5], "keyframes": [ { "time": 0.0, "translation": [0.0, 0.0, 0.0], "rotation": [-22.5, 0.0, 45.0], "scale": [0.5, 0.5, 0.5] }, { "time": 0.05, "translation": [20.0, 0.0, -20.0], "rotation": [0.0, 0.0, 0.0], "scale": [1.0, 1.0, 1.0] }, { "time": 0.10, "translation": [0.0, -15.0, 0.0], "rotation": [0.0, -90.0, 0.0], "scale": [1.5, 1.5, 1.5] }, { "time": 0.15, "translation": [0.0, 0.0, 0.0], "rotation": [0.0, 0.0, 0.0], "scale": [1.0, 1.0, 1.0] } ] }
