Elements Hive is a Breakdance addon that adds WebGL animations, kinetic typography, and editor Extensions.
Elements Hive takes a different approach to addon design by introducing the concept of Extensions, which modify and enhance existing Breakdance elements rather than only adding new ones to the panel. The free version includes a WebGL Slideshow, Marquee Container, Orbiting Icons, Glue Button, and a set of EH Tricks that improve the editor experience with quality-of-life enhancements like a draggable code editor dialog.
The Pro version extends this with WebGL fluid simulation, kinetic typography, Edge Mask, and advanced micro-interactions. Notably, it replaces Three.js with OGL for WebGL rendering, cutting dependency file sizes by 20x. The free version is available directly from the WordPress.org repository with no license key required.
Elements Hive is developed by Moussa and is one of the most technically thoughtful addons in the Breakdance ecosystem, particularly for creative and visually ambitious builds.
