NoPotionSwirls
by choco422
NoPotionSwirls removes the swirling particle clouds that potion effects leave around players, mobs and other entities, letting players choose which swirls stay visible.
What it does
Potion swirl particles can be turned off completely, limited to the player's own character, or limited to other players and mobs, and an in-game config screen sets which mode applies. Players who keep their own indicators can still see the effects that matter to them while the rest of the scene stays clean.
Content creators and builders use the mod to get clean cinematic shots or to look at their work without particles in the way. It works alongside Flashback, so recorded replays show no potion particles. The mod runs on the client alone, so a server does not need it. It is published for Fabric only, for 1.21.8, 1.21.9, 1.21.10, 1.21.11 and 26.2, with 1.0.2 for 26.2 as the latest file. The code is released under the MIT License and the mod is not open source. BreweryLib is required and must be installed alongside it.
Key features
Hide all potion swirls

Self-only or others-only mode
Hides either the player's own swirls or those of other players and mobs, while keeping the other set visible.
Keep own status indicators
In others-only mode the player's own status effect indicators stay on screen, so personal effects remain visible.
Simple in-game config
A small settings screen in the game chooses the mode, so changes apply without editing files.
