Jade's Hit Effects
by catgirljade
Jade's Hit Effects adds cosmetic melee slash visuals and kill effects on the client, with particles, colours and sound volume that can be adjusted.
What it does
Jade's Hit Effects plays visual effects when the player strikes a mob, and a special animation when a mob dies to the player's attack. Because the animation is tied to kill credit, it can be inferred from the death event rather than from server data.
The effects are drawn only on the client that runs the mod, so other players on a server cannot see or hear them. Combat reads as more flashy, and the effect ordering is built to make fights feel more exciting for the player. The mod is client-side only, so servers run without it and players install it alone.
Installation needs Fabric Loader and the Fabric API, plus Cloth Config API and Mod Menu. The code is under the MIT License and is open source. Files cover 1.20.1 and 1.20.4, with 1.1 for 1.20.4 as the latest Fabric file, published on 2024-12-29.
Key features
Melee slash effect
A visual slash plays on the screen when the player lands a melee hit, with the effect layered over the attack.
Special kill effect
When a mob dies from the player's attack, a special animation plays, timed to the moment of death.
Particle colours and spacing
Players can set the colours of the particles and how densely they are spaced.
Sound volume control
The volume of the effect sounds can be adjusted separately from the rest of the game audio.
