About Animated Menu

From SpigotMC

Not just a menu plugin, it's the most powerful one out there.

Note: I am not as active anymore as I used to be. Check the discussion or reviews for any issues that other people might have.

Requires AnimationLib
Uses Java 8


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!
I have put a lot of time into this resource. It will always be free, but I would be very happy if you gave a small donation. You can choose to buy AnimatedMenu Plus or give a small donation:
