Features

IN-GAME EDITOR
Create your own crates, keys, and rewards using an intuitive GUI editor! All features are split into separate menus/categories, every action has its own button, and modern dialog popups handle text input and options!

[​IMG]

MODULARITY & EXTENSIBILITY
Almost every feature is fully optional! Disable whatever you don’t like or need, and it won’t bother you again!

Thanks to our modular architecture, developers can hook their custom content into almost any plugin system - from animations to custom crate components!

KEYS
Create infinite keys for your crates! You can even assign multiple keys to the exact same crate!

And with our GUI editor, turning existing in-game items into new keys takes literally a couple of clicks!

REWARDS
Create unlimited rewards for your crates, complete with commands and custom items support! Set up global and per-player limits and cooldowns.

Broadcast to the entire server when someone lands a legendary or special drop - with customizable chat messages based on reward rarity!

ANIMATIONS
Treat players to cool opening animations and reward rollouts, making the whole process way more fun and engaging!

Create custom animation profiles for registered types, tweaking their parameters and visuals. A full developer API is available to create and register your own custom animations.

BLOCKS, EFFECTS AND HOLOGRAMS
Place crates anywhere in one click - just put the crate block where you want it! Configure holograms, particle effects, and custom click actions for each crate block!

Built-in automatic holograms for your crates! Just type in your text and adjust the offset if needed - everything else is ready to go!

Bring your crates to life with particle effects and unique shapes! Almost all vanilla particle types are supported!

BULK OPENING
Got a dozen keys on hand, but opening them one by one is too slow or boring? Open them all at once with bulk opening, picking the exact amount you want to unlock!

A smart GUI will show all available options. If there are none, well, there's nothing to choose from, hehe (the GUI won't even show up).
