Orbit Crates is a configurable crate system for Paper servers with physical crate blocks, secure keys, weighted rewards, preview menus, and animated openings.
Create different crate types, place them anywhere in the world, configure their rewards, and give players keys through events, quests, shops, commands, or any other system.

- Secure physical crate keys
- Weighted reward system
- Animated crate openings

- Orbit Items integration

- Orbit Items
Reward weights do not need to add up to 100. Orbit Crates automatically calculates the final reward chances from the configured weights.
