# Updated: Ballpit

By Steven Van · 2026-10-12

The React Bits background now runs smoother physics with thousands of balls, and visitors can grab, throw and blast them apart.

The [React Bits](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/resources/react-bits>) Ballpit background has been [updated](<https://reactbits.dev/backgrounds/ballpit>). The vendor describes it as a soft-lit pit of physics balls that can be shoved with the cursor, grabbed, thrown and blasted apart.

## What changed

- The physics was rebuilt to stay smooth with thousands of balls.

- The balls have soft, modern finishes.

- Besides pushing balls with the cursor, you can now grab and throw them, or blast them apart.

## Installing

The component installs with npx shadcn@latest add @react-bits/Ballpit-TS-TW. That command is for the TypeScript and Tailwind variant. The page also offers JavaScript and plain CSS options.
