Every modifier, one block each: its preview, what it does, and what each control means — together. A modifier sits between an effect and the output: it reshapes where pixels land (or masks them) without changing the effect's drawing. Modifiers compose — a Layer folds its whole modifier stack each rebuild; a dynamic modifier (one that overrides modifyLive) also runs a per-frame pass. See ModifierBase for the static-vs-dynamic split. Each block's emoji are its tags() (see the tag emoji legend); Kind is static (baked into the mapping at rebuild) or dynamic (per-frame remap). Modifiers are grouped into sections, and each block carries that modifier's preview, behaviour, and control descriptions together. (For how this page maps to the source/asset folders, see the folder-structure decision.)
Expands a 1D effect into concentric square rings (Chebyshev distance from the centre): the effect's linear position becomes the ring index, so a gradient effect draws nested squares.

Masks the layer in a checkerboard: "off" squares are dropped, "on" squares pass through unchanged.
size— checker square edge in lights (≥1).invert— flip which squares pass through vs are masked.

Expands a 1D effect into concentric circular rings (Euclidean distance from the centre): the effect's linear position becomes the radius, so a gradient effect draws nested circles. The circular counterpart to Block.

Folds the far half of the box back onto the near half per axis, mirroring the image across the box centre (top-left quadrant reflected into the others in 2D, near octant into all eight in 3D).
mirrorX/mirrorY/mirrorZ— mirror across the centre on that axis (each default on; enabling an axis the layout doesn't use is a no-op).

Tiles the logical image across the box multiply times per axis, optionally mirroring alternate tiles (a pure mirror is multiply = 2, mirror = true).
multiplyX/multiplyY/multiplyZ— tile count per axis (1–64; 1 = no tiling).mirrorX/mirrorY/mirrorZ— reflect alternate tiles on that axis (with a count of 2, folds the axis in half — the kaleidoscope mirror).

Remaps the grid into radial petals around the centre — the angle to each pixel picks its petal, with an optional swirl (angle sheared by radius), symmetry, and z-twist. Turns a linear or 2D effect into a rotating flower/spokes pattern.
petals— number of petals radiating from the centre.swirl— shear the angle by radius (−127..127; a spiral; negative reverses).reverse— reverse the petal order.symmetry— fold the petals into a factor-of-360 symmetry.zTwist— twist the petals along z (3D).

Collapses an axis to a single plane so a higher-dimensional effect ripples along the remaining axes — used to drive a 1D→2D/3D ripple.
shrink— collapse the selected axis (on = collapse).towardsX/towardsZ— which axis collapses to a single line.

Swaps a pair of box axes (and every coordinate through them), then optionally inverts each axis — rotate/flip the image without redrawing the effect.
XY/XZ/YZ— swap that pair of axes.inverse X/inverse Y/inverse Z— flip that axis after the swap.

Remaps every light to another via a true 1:1 permutation, reshuffling to a fresh permutation on a bpm timer — the arrangement scrambles each beat, the content is untouched.
bpm— reshuffles per minute (0–60; 6 ≈ a fresh permutation every 10 s; 0 = frozen).

Carves the layer to a sub-rectangle given as percentages of the physical extent (so it survives a resize); outside the region is dark.
startX/startY/startZandendX/endY/endZ— the sub-rectangle bounds as percentages of each axis's physical extent (0 = start of axis, 100 = end), so the region survives a resize; values may go negative or past 100 to push the window off-screen.

Rotates the 2D image around its centre, turning continuously over time (the codebase's transform-matrix reference).
speed— rotation speed (1–255; turns faster as it rises).
