Ambient Particles

by Studio Moon

Ambient Particles lets players customize the particles that drift around them, controlling their speed, movement, rendering, lifetime, size, color and alpha.

What it does

Particles that fly around the player are the core of the mod. Each particle type can be tuned through a set of options covering speed, movement pattern, rendering, lifetime, size, color and transparency, so the effect can be shaped to taste rather than used as shipped.

The mod is client-side only, so only the player's game needs it; servers run without it and nothing changes on the server side. It requires Fabric API, Cloth Config API and Mod Menu, and it is published for Fabric only across 16 release versions, under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.

Key features

  1. Customizable ambient particles

    Drifting particles around the player can be adjusted to suit the look a player wants for a scene or session.

  2. Movement and speed controls

    Speed and movement behavior of each particle can be set, changing how the effect flows past the camera.

  3. Size, color and alpha

    Particle size, color and transparency are adjustable, along with how long each particle lives before it fades.

Use cases

Atmospheric screenshots

A player building a scene can tune the drifting particles to add mood to a picture without changing the world itself.

Personal visual style

Anyone who wants a different look in their own game can change the particles without affecting other players or the server.

Who it’s for: Players who want to change the floating particles in their own game, and players who build scenes, decorations or screenshots and want more control over the atmosphere.
