Fancy Block Particles - Renewed

by Hantonik

With Fancy Block Particles - Renewed installed, the particles that vanilla blocks emit turn from flat 2D sprites into animated 3D models.

What it does

The mod replaces the basic 2D particles of vanilla Minecraft with animated 3D particles. Players can adjust how the new particles look, lower how many appear, or turn individual types off. When a type is disabled through the FBP panel, the standard vanilla particle takes its place. It is a revamp of MorphoxL's Fancy Block Particles, ported to newer Minecraft versions by Hantonik.

Servers do not need it; each player installs it for their own game. Fabric API is a required dependency on Fabric. Builds exist for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 19 release versions, 1.16.5 – 26.1.2. The code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the source code and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. 3D block particles

    Particles emitted by blocks appear as animated three-dimensional shapes instead of flat sprites.

  2. Adjustable particle amount

    The number of each particle type can be reduced, so the effect is lighter on busy scenes.

  3. Per-type disabling

    Individual particle types can be switched off, and vanilla particles appear in their place.

  4. FBP settings panel

    A panel in the game holds the options for each particle type, so changes do not require editing files.

Required

Use cases

Decorated builds

Builders who want effects like dust or sparks around blocks to look more detailed in their screenshots and builds.

Modpacks

Modpack authors can include the mod, as the author permits modpack use, and let players tune the particles.

Who it’s for: Players who want more detailed block particles on their own client, and modpack authors who want the same option in a pack. Because only the client runs it, it suits single-player worlds and multiplayer servers alike.

How it compares

Full comparison

Particle Mimicry is client and server, open source under the MIT License and covers 1.19.2 – 26.1.2 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, so servers need it too. Totem Particles Color Changer is client-side only, open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and built for Fabric across 1.16.5 – 1.21.11, changing only the totem effect.

Questions

Does Fancy Block Particles need Fabric API?

Yes, Fabric API is required on Fabric. Forge and NeoForge builds do not list it as a dependency.

Does the server need Fancy Block Particles?

No. Only the player's game needs it, and servers run without it.

Can the particles be turned off?

Yes. Each particle type can be disabled in the FBP panel, which restores the standard vanilla particle for that type.
