🎞️Animated Glyphs

With Nexo you can make Animated Glyphs, or GIFs, which you can use to animate GUIs or gif-emotes. It is very simple, Nexo does most of the hard work to convert the GIF-file to a compatible format.

Simply put your GIF-file in the resourcepack. As an example we will use Nexo/pack/assets/nexo/textures/gifs/necoflap.gif

Gif-Glyph Config

necoflap:
  gif: nexo:gifs/necoflap.gif
  ascent: 9
  height: 11
  #frame_count: X      Optional, mainly used for limiting larger GIFs
  #offset: X            Mainly if the GIF is not overlapping frames perfectly

Unlike normal Glyphs, font cannot be customized, as Nexo sets it for you. Texture-property is based on the gif-property and can be customized that way

If you are unsure how to reference a Texture in a Glyph configHow do I reference a ResourcePack file in a config?

GIFs rely on Core Shaders and might break on version updates. Large GIFs might also cause lag if the frame-count is really high, consider optimizing GIFs you intend to use
