3D Dice Roll Hover Effect
A six-sided die built from six faces with dotted pips. On hover it tumbles on two axes and comes to rest showing a six. Both rotations are one transition, so leaving rolls it back the other way.
Also known as: css 3d dice, rolling die hover, cube tumble animation.

}Customizing this snippet
- Color: set
--hfx-coloron the element or a parent. Currently previewing#3b82f6. - Base size: set
--hfx-size. Every other dimension is inem, so the whole thing scales together. Currently previewing16px. - Speed: change the duration on the
transitionoranimationshorthand. Staggered delays are relative, so they keep their rhythm. - Reduced motion: the rule at the end of the CSS turns the motion off for people who asked their OS for less of it. Keep it.
