Aura particle
by blockem31
Aura particle adds a customizable particle trail that follows the player while walking, with several movement styles to choose from, and it opens from an R key menu.
What it does
Particles are drawn around the player as an aura trail, and they follow the player's movement. The trail can be changed through a menu opened with the R key, which holds several movement styles such as rotation, pulsing, floating, spiral and waves. A default fire aura is included, so the effect works straight after installation.
The trail is shown in first person in a reduced form, so the view stays clear, and other players who have the mod installed can see the aura around the character. The mod is built for Fabric and is published for 1.21.8 only, with files released 2026-02-18 and last updated 2026-02-19. The mod is client-side only, so only the client needs it, and servers run without it. It is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source.
The author describes the release as a first version and lists further features as coming soon. The mod has no required dependencies, so Fabric is the only loader it needs.
