Block Particle Spawning

by ACGaming

Block Particle Spawning lets modpack authors attach particle effects to chosen blocks in Minecraft 1.12.2, with a set of config settings for each block.

ForgeClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.12.2

What it does

Modpack authors can attach particle effects to blocks, which adds visual detail to the blocks a world already contains. Each block is matched to the effect it should emit, and the settings are listed in order: the first block takes the first value in each category, the second block takes the second value, and so on. The mod is client-side only, so the server does not need it, and it requires MixinBooter to load.

The mod is built for Forge 1.12.2 and is released under the MIT License, which makes it open source. Its source code and issue tracker are public. Files were first published on 2025-04-19, and that build is still the latest one, version 1.0.0 for 1.12.2.

Key features

  1. Block-to-particle mapping

    A config list names the blocks that emit particles, so each block can have its own visual effect.

  2. Particle count and cooldown

    Settings control how many particles appear and how many ticks pass between spawns, which tunes how busy an effect looks.

  3. Particle types

    Effects can use BASIC, DRIP, FIRE, SMOKE, MYCELIUM, REDSTONE, ORE or TORCH particles, selected per block.

  4. Particle command support

    Particles spawned by the mod can be triggered through the particle command, giving pack makers another way to test effects.

Modpack visual tuning

Pack makers can give ores, torches or machines a distinct look without changing how the blocks work.

Atmosphere in custom worlds

Smoke, drip or mycelium particles on chosen blocks can make a themed area feel more alive.

Who it’s for: Modpack authors working on Forge 1.12.2 who want to add particle effects to blocks through config, and players who run such packs on their own client.

Questions

Does Block Particle Spawning need MixinBooter?

Yes. MixinBooter is a required dependency and must be installed alongside the mod for it to load on Forge 1.12.2.

Does the server need Block Particle Spawning?

No. Servers do not need it; each player installs it for their own game.

How are the config settings matched to blocks?

The settings are ordered lists. The first block in the blocks list takes the first value in each category, the second block takes the second value, and the same order applies to the rest.
