Config
Code (YAML):

# Make sure all animations are started at the same time on startup (useful if you usethe same image on multiple frames)
synchronizedStart : false

# Enable this to not start any frames automatically on server start &amp; if you'd like to start them manually instead
doNotStartAutomatically : false

# This is a (slightly hacky) fix for images which Java interpretes as the wrong image type
# You should enable this if you get this error when creating a image: "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown image type 0"
fixImageTypes : false

# Maximum distance for frames to be animated to players
# Note: Increasing this only has an effect if your server's rendering distance for entities is also increased (i.e. spigot.yml entity-tracking-range)
maxAnimateDistance : 32

# (ms) Default delay for GIFs with missing delay information (Time for each frame to be displayed)
defaultDelay : 50
