NoParticles-Fps
by ILMaRkz
NoParticles-Fps is a Forge client mod for Minecraft 1.8.9 that stops particle effects from being drawn, which players use to raise frame rates.
What it does
The mod intercepts particles in the EffectRenderer before they enter the render pipeline, so blocked particles are never created, allocated or drawn. Block crits, potion effects, block break effects, fire and smoke are among the types it covers. A single toggle disables all particles, and separate options switch each particle type on or off independently.
A PvP mode is included for players who want fewer visual effects during combat, and a key binding lets the player flip the toggle during play. Settings are stored in a simple.cfg file and can also be edited through the Forge configuration screen. Because the work happens before rendering, the mod cuts CPU and GPU load rather than hiding particles after they have been drawn.
Installation requires only Forge for 1.8.9, and the mod runs on the client alone. Players join servers without installing anything, and the server does not need it. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source, while its source uses ForgeGradle 2.1 with extra dependencies to build.
Key features
Single particle toggle
One switch disables every particle effect, so the game draws none of them until the switch is turned back on.
Per-type toggles
Each particle type, such as block crits, potions, block break effects, fire and smoke, can be turned on or off on its own.
Zero-allocation blocking
Blocked particles never allocate memory or run render code, which avoids garbage collection pressure from discarded particle objects.
Key binding toggle
A key binding flips the particle setting during play without opening a menu.
PvP mode
A preset that blocks crits, potion effects, block break, fire and smoke particles at once, for a cleaner view in combat.
