PivotPoly [BETA]
PivotPoly is a powerful Minecraft plugin designed for creators, builders, and server owners who want to bring their builds to life with high-fidelity, smooth-animated mechanical structures.
[!WARNING]
This project is currently in BETA.
Systems are being actively refined, and you may encounter minor bugs. We recommend backing up your door configurations before major updates.
Key Features
- Smooth Animation System: Say goodbye to "snapping" movements. PivotPoly uses a high-performance tick-based interpolation system (20TPS) combined with client-side sub-tick smoothing to deliver fluid motion.
- Rigid Body Physics: Blocks move as a single synchronized unit. Whether it's a massive heavy door or a small hatch, the entire structure maintains its integrity during movement.
- Support for Multi-Stage Paths:
- Swing Doors: Classic hinge-based rotation.
- Slide Doors: Linear movement along X, Y, or Z axes.
- Garage Doors: Realistic "Lift-and-Tuck" movement where the door slides up and then tucks away flat against the ceiling.
- Drawbridges: Heavy vertical rotation for castle gates and bridges.
- Custom Easing Profiles: Choose how your structures move:
- Smooth: Sine-based acceleration/deceleration for a natural feel.
- Bounce: Energetic bounce-back effect upon completion.
- Linear: Constant speed for mechanical precision.
- Interactive Collision: Invisible physical colliders move in perfect sync with the visual blocks, preventing players from walking through moving doors.
- In-Game GUI Manager: Configure sounds, easing, timers, and proximity triggers through an intuitive menu (
/pp gui).
Installation
- Ensure your server is running a modern version of Paper, Purpur, or Spigot (1.20.x+ recommended).

PivotPoly.jar into your plugins folder.
- Restart the server.
Getting Started
