The mod draws visual effects for homemade gadgets, such as electromagnetic cannon beams, tracking shots and flying swords. Its particle system runs mostly on the graphics card and can update up to 100,000 particles at once, using compute shaders and shader storage buffers. Custom shaders draw real-time beams and explosions, so scenes with hundreds of effects stay within one pipeline.

Magic arrow trails, coin charge convergence and impact explosion bursts are part of the effect set, and the particle system supports shapes such as circles, squares, triangles, hearts and five-pointed figures. Ballistic trajectories, gravity control and color gradients can be set per effect. The mod is primarily a visual layer for weapons, so it changes how attacks look rather than how they deal damage.

The effects depend on OpenGL 4.3 with compute shader support, which most discrete GPUs provide. The mod is installed on the client and the server, so both sides must run it. Files exist for Forge only, in 1.20.1, and the mod is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source.
