Throwable

Description

The Throwable block creates an interactive physics simulation where inner blocks “fall” and bounce around the container.

Features:
– Physics simulation using Matter.js
– Support for innerBlocks (paragraphs, headings, buttons, etc.)
– Customizable physics settings (gravity, bounce)

Physics Settings:
Gravity: Control the strength of gravity (0.1 – 2.0)
Bounce (Restitution): Control how much blocks bounce (0 – 1)

Usage

  1. Add the “Throwable” block to your page/post
  2. Add any supported blocks inside (paragraphs, headings, buttons, etc.)
  3. Configure physics settings in the block sidebar:
    • Adjust gravity strength
    • Set bounce level
    • Enable scroll gravity for dynamic effects
  4. Publish and view your page to see the physics simulation in action
