🌏 ShadowCrates

ShadowCrates is a fully customizable Crate System for Minecraft Fabric servers. It allows server administrators to create, configure, and manage crates that players can open using special crate keys. With customizable animations, sounds, and rewards!

• Soon, we will also have an Crate Maker!

📜 Features:

• ✅️ Fully Configurable Crates - Define crates in JSON format, including rewards, animations, sounds, particle effects, and key items.
• ✅️ Custom Enchantment & NBT Support - Rewards retain all item properties, including enchantments, custom model data, and atributes.
• ✅️ Configurable Animations - Set the number of animation steps and intervals for crate opening effects.
• ✅️ Particle Effects - Choose different particle effects per crate for a visually appealing opening sequence.
• ✅️ Permission-Based Access - Restrict specific crates using LuckPerms or any permission plugin.
• ✅️ Command Execution - Run custom commands when a player wins a reward.
• ✅️ Custom Sounds - Play unique sounds when opening a crate or winning a reward.
• ✅️ Language & Message Customization - Edit all messages, GUI titles, and lore with full RGB color support.
• ✅️ Crate Location System - Assign crates to specific blocks in the world, allowing physical crate locations.
• ✅️ Backup System – Automatic & manual backup creation in /config/shadowcrates/backups/, with JSON restore support.
• ✅️ Database Support – Use SQLite or MySQL to store all crate data (keys, prizes, crate blocks). Auto migration + backup included.
• ✅️ Powerful GUI System – Preview crates, claim stored prizes, and view virtual keys with fully customizable menus.
• ✅️ Virtual Key System – Players can store keys virtually, preventing duplication exploits.
• ✅️ Support for Cobblemon Items – Render Pokémon items (e.g. pokemon:abra) as prize icons and display items in GUIs.
