🔌 About CrazyCrates

CrazyCrates is a Minecraft plugin that adds configurable reward crates to a server. It supports both physical and virtual keys, multiple built-in crate types, animated openings, and per-crate prize configuration stored in crate configuration files.

• Multiple crate types (catalog listings reference multiple built-in types used across releases).
• Configurable prize lists for each crate.
• Animated crate opening effects and visual behaviour.
• Debug/testing command to simulate or inspect crate behaviour.
• Uses standard plugin configuration and crate files stored in a crates configuration folder.
