Have you ever been on a big server that has an animated server selector?
Are you a server owner and have always wanted that too but don't how to code?
Then this plugin is for you!
Features:
- No limit to the menu count
- Animate a menu title
- Animate an item's display name, lore and/or material
- Animate items seperately from each other
- Open a menu using /animatedmenu, by clicking an item or performing a manually specified command.
- Hooks into PlaceholderAPI for placeholders. Tons of placeholders to use! You can even add your own ones!
- Supports a variety of commands to perform
- Efficient code: Loads everything it needs to load when the plugin enables, and simply retrieves info when an item needs to update.
- Automatically checks for updates on startup
- Tons more!
