Jump Circle
by Matfi1
Jump Circle draws an animated ring of energy under the player's feet at the moment of each jump, in a choice of six circle types and eight particle styles.
What it does
Each jump creates an effect at the exact takeoff position. The effect expands smoothly and dissolves into the world, staying fixed where it started. Particle styles are drawn from bespoke shapes rather than the usual clouds of vanilla particles, so ice crystals, magical runes, branching lightning and orbiting sparks read clearly. Animation uses smooth partial-tick interpolation, and the effect adds visual feedback to jumping without changing movement.
The mod can be set up in many ways: any circle type can be combined with any particle style, and sixteen compact two-color schemes such as Ice, Fire, Soul and Galaxy apply to the base circle. Particle styles keep their own thematic colors so they stay recognizable. A Minecraft-style settings screen with live preview and a rebindable key control the look. Jump Circle is a client-side mod and works on multiplayer servers without being installed there; on a server it stays inactive and renders nothing. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Six circle types
Circle types can be freely combined with the eight particle styles, such as Shockwave with Fire Gradient or Enchant Layered Rings.
Eight particle styles
Each style uses its own geometry, motion and silhouette, with sparks and shapes that differ from vanilla particles.
Sixteen color schemes
Two-color schemes from Lime and Emerald to Gold and White, plus themed sets, recolor the base circle.
Live settings screen
A Minecraft-style settings screen previews changes as they are made, and the toggle key can be rebound.
