Mad Particle
by USS-Shenzhou
Mad Particle is a Forge and NeoForge optimization mod that makes the world full of particles, built for multiplayer servers and datapacks.
What it does
Instead of shipping new particle textures, the mod reuses the particle textures already in vanilla Minecraft and uses them to build a large number of particles in a scene. Its design draws on the Extinguish mod from Teacon 2022, which inspired its performance approach. The result is an almost unlimited supply of particles for creating different kinds of scenes.
The mod is mainly intended for multiplayer games and datapacks, where server owners and map makers can use it to shape how a world looks. It requires T88 to run. Mad Particle runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and its files target 1.20 – 26.2 on Forge and NeoForge.
