I'm working on a mod that adds a lot client-side animations to make the world feel more alive!
EDIT: It's now available on Modrinth https://modrinth.com/mod/fwa

how come? what’s the approach to this mod
radiant sundial
how come? what’s the approach to this mod
There's a set animation time after which the entity is deleted and the block is rendered again
So I'll have to change how it work, or find a way to know how long exponential smoothing is going to be
vale niche
oh you’re spawning an entity for it?
radiant sundial
oh you’re spawning an entity for it?
That's the only way to do it
A block entity
vale niche
radiant sundial
this one uses particles for the animation
Where can you see that?
daring robin
in their code
radiant sundial
There's no link to the code on the page

i decompiled the jar a while ago searching for something
just came to mind when I saw your post
daring robin
and it's an interesting solution
radiant sundial
I'll stick with blockentities though
daring robin
since I also thought block entity would be the only way
radiant sundial
and it's an interesting solution
Yeah I would not have thought of that
daring robin
kinda surprising how good it looks to be honest
and block entities are kinda mid since you loose piston pushing and such
this library might also be able to do with without a BER

that doesn't matter so much for levers and doors that break when you push them
radiant sundial

Well no
The block is still there
Just hidden
If it gets pushed, the animation will stop, the block entity will disappear and the block will re-appear
radiant sundial
The animation is far from finished but 👀
torn elbow
oh my god, these are so interesting
torn elbow
If it gets pushed, the animation will stop, the block entity will disappear and ...
so the block entity is only present for as long as it takes to complete the animation?
radiant sundial

Yes
And the real block is hidden for as long as the block entity exists
radiant sundial
👀 I love it ahah
The animation is pretty fast and rough rn but I'll improve that
radiant sundial

Also I worked a bit on adding different curves, so here's the door now
radiant sundial
Which blocks should I add animations to?
mossy valve
Which blocks should I add animations to?
Magma block
Maybe when you take damage vs when youre sneaking
radiant sundial
Maybe when you take damage vs when youre sneaking
I don't see how the magma block changes here
vale niche
Which blocks should I add animations to?
maybe a small animation when placing down a block?
radiant sundial
Oh yeah, maybe
radiant sundial
Not a new animation, but I added the possibility to edit the chest animation's curve
vale niche
this rocks
radiant sundial
Buttons 😄
radiant sundial
Jukeboxes
radiant sundial
Some blocks will have permanent animations that will stay until the block is destroyed, that way the jukebox's disk will always be shown sticking out a bit and the lectern's book will be a bit animated
That'll be toggleable also

can you add an animation for when you turn a page in the book?
radiant sundial

You can't really see it as you're in the book, but I may do it if I have enough time
It's not my priority
torn elbow
sure
radiant sundial
Started adding a config screen
late flume
you're reviving the in world animations from trainguys abandoned mod!!! awesome!!
gilded thunder
are you going to try removing the flicker between the animation & the fixed block, and fixing the lightning for the animations?
radiant sundial
are you going to try removing the flicker between the animation & the fixed bloc...
Yes
At least for the flicker
It might not be possible for the lightning
radiant sundial
At least for the flicker
It's now fixed
gilded thunder
nice
gilded thunder
It might not be possible for the lightning
o?
radiant sundial
o?
The lightning issues (and the fixed flickering one) are because the actual block is hidden and a placeholder is rendered. This means that the placeholder does not have ambient occlusion

And bells also
radiant sundial
Should I replace the speed presets by a slider?
torn elbow
imo yes
torn elbow
love it!
radiant sundial
Added an animation for firecamps as well as an idling one for the end portal frame
radiant sundial
Composters now have an animation, the same as for cauldrons

The lever feels like it moves too slow but otherwise 🔥

It's configurable 😁 but thank you
radiant sundial
I added a mod toggle, that way if it's in a modpack and some people don't want it, they can disable it
radiant sundial
Fixed compatibility with BBE
radiant sundial
What a mess

Now available on 1.20.1
radiant sundial
radiant sundial
the math for that must be insane
It is not at all actually
Go to the top of the line, draw one chain rotated, go to the bottom of that chain, draw another rotated a little bit more etc...
radiant sundial
I added an option so you can choose whether chains linked to the ground are swinging or not
radiant sundial
New update is out!
It fixes issues with Create doors already having an animation which was causing some conflicts
It's also now easier to add it in modpacks as it's possible to disable the custom animations for specific blocks/mods in case of conflict, that way you don't have to choose between this mod or another, or to choose between having an animation (e.g. door animations) on all doors at the cost of causing issues on some modded ones or not having the animation at all
radiant sundial

1.2.0 released 🙂
radiant sundial
Next update will greatly improve performances on 1.21.8 and older versions ^^
agile hemlock
I was thinking maybe you could add a feature like some sort of pseudo lighting effect for the blocks when changing their animations because its usually abrupt (thinking about like when pistons move blocks around)
radiant sundial
200k on both, Modrinth and Curseforge!

that's really cool, just be aware of fps tho! redstone can flicker a lot in some larger contraptions
radiant sundial

I am don't worry 🙂
I am going to stress test it with a big contraption but really it shouldn't be that slower than rendering normal redstone
radiant sundial
Next version will work with shaders colored lighting (visible on redstone and lanterns animations)
radiant sundial
Latest version is now compatible with Create : Aeronautics (still no animations on contraptions, but no invisible blocks anymore)
