Animations

An animation defines how individual blocks appear usually using block entities.

The animation can be set in CLI using the --animation or -a option with the name of the animation and optional parameters in []. It might be necessary to use quotes around the whole argument to prevent the shell from interpreting the parameters, e.g. -a 'plop[duration=8]'. Multiple parameters can be comma separated, e.g. -a 'float[x=7,y=8,z=9]'

This page lists all animation presets currently available in plop, you can also write your own.
