Inspect Animations

Inspect Animations adds new animations for items, inspired by the inspect feature from counterstrike.

Animations

Animation
Turn	Classic counterstrike inspect animation.
Toss	Toss the item up in the air and catch it.
Flourish	Twirl the item back and forth like flourishing a sword.
Flip	Flip the item around in your hand.

Keybinds

Press [R] to play the selected animation.

Hold [SHIFT] and press [R] to cycle through the available animations.

Multiplayer

Use the gamerule inspect_radius to change the distance from which other players will receive animation packets.

Use the gamerule send_inspections to enable/disable sending animations to players. When setting from false to true, players already in the server will need to re-join to apply changes.

Configuration

Bind the config key to configure the mod:

Animations can be removed from the cycling option
Animation duration can be changed
Some animations can have their number of loops changed

There are a few experimental options:

Select specific animations for items and item tags
Select a specific animation for all blocks
Maximum Delta: Try changing this value if the animation does not play smoothly or skips during lag spikes
