The battle scene in Essentials mirrors generation 3 by default. In these older generations, the databoxes for each battler remains on screen throughout the entire battle, even during move animations. Here's an example of what this looks like normally:

However, in newer generations starting with Gen 5, these databoxes would be hidden during move animations, allowing you to appreciate the visuals of the move animations better. This plugin allows you to implement this same mechanic with the HIDE_DATABOXES_DURING_MOVES setting, which is set to true by default. Here's the same animation as seen above, but with this feature enabled:

When enabled, all databoxes on screen will be hidden for the duration of any move animations in battle, and then reappear once the animations are complete. If you wish to disable this feature, then you may set the HIDE_DATABOXES_DURING_MOVES plugin setting to false.
