About this plugin
Fuwari Block Effects adds subtle scroll animations and gradient text to WordPress core blocks. “Fuwari” is a Japanese word for something soft and floaty — exactly how your content will appear.
No extra libraries, no settings screens. Select a block, pick an effect in the sidebar, done.
Animations (play once when the block scrolls into view, or replay on every re-entry with the Repeat toggle):
- Fade Up / Fade Down / Fade In — classic entrance animations
- Box Reveal — a colored box covers the element, then slides away to reveal it. Choose the slide direction (right / left / up / down) and the box color (Purple / Orange / Blue / Dark)
Gradient text — three built-in gradients (Purple, Orange, Blue), plus a Custom option where you set the start and end colors with hex values.
Alternating columns — an option for the Columns block that reverses column order on desktop, useful for text/image zigzag layouts.
Supported blocks — animations: Paragraph, Heading, Quote, Button, Image, Group, Columns, Cover, Gallery, List. Gradient text: Paragraph, Heading, Quote, Button. Column layout: Columns.
Built to be safe
- Content stays visible if JavaScript is disabled or fails to load

- Falls back gracefully on browsers without IntersectionObserver
- No data collection, no external requests, no tracking
