    "mining_animation": "mining_and_placing_animations:animations/global_mining_animation",

      ],
      "mining_animation": "mining_and_placing_animations:animations/cobblestone"  // if you don't put a 'placing_animation', it will take the global placing animation, same for the mining animation
    }
  ],
  "mining_blacklist": [
    "#minecraft:beds",        // you can use tags

  ],
  "placing_blacklist": [
    "#minecraft:pressure_plates",
    "minecraft:rail",
    "minecraft:snow_block"

The animation files have to be under the directory 'animations'.

dirt_mining_animation.json (example of a possible mining animation, same for the placing animation):

{
  "duration": 0.15,           // length of the animation in seconds
  "pivot_point": [0.5, 1.0, 0.5],
  "keyframes": [
    {
      "time": 0.0,
      "translation": [0.0, 0.0, 0.0],
      "rotation": [-22.5, 0.0, 45.0],
      "scale": [0.5, 0.5, 0.5]
    },
    {
      "time": 0.05,
      "translation": [20.0, 0.0, -20.0],
      "rotation": [0.0, 0.0, 0.0],
      "scale": [1.0, 1.0, 1.0]
    },
    {
      "time": 0.10,
      "translation": [0.0, -15.0, 0.0],
      "rotation": [0.0, -90.0, 0.0],
      "scale": [1.5, 1.5, 1.5]
    },
    {
      "time": 0.15,
      "translation": [0.0, 0.0, 0.0],
      "rotation": [0.0, 0.0, 0.0],
      "scale": [1.0, 1.0, 1.0]
    }
  ]
}
