MasEffects v2
MasEffects v2 is a Fabric client mod that overhauls the visual effects of Minecraft PvP, mainly around mace combat.
What it does
The mod replaces several combat visuals: totem particles, custom wind charge particles, a shockwave effect when a mace smash lands, and a death effect for players. Player hitboxes can be shown, and pearl hitboxes take the color of the pearl's owner, so fights are easier to read on screen.
It requires ukulib, and is published only for Fabric, with five release versions covering 26.1 – 26.3. Files target 26.1 – 26.3, and the latest file is 2.4.0 for 26.3, released on 2026-09-16. Only the client needs it, so servers and other players run without it. The code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, and the source and issue tracker are public. It was first published on 2026-05-22 and last updated on 2026-09-16.
Key features
Totem particle overhaul
Totem pops use reworked particles, changing how a successful revive looks during a fight.
Mace smash shockwave
A mace hit that lands from a height produces a shockwave effect around the impact point.
Custom wind charge particles
Wind charge bursts show a different particle set, so their impact is easier to spot in combat.
Player hitboxes and death effect
Player hitboxes can be displayed, pearl hitboxes follow the owner's color, and a death effect plays when a player dies.
