Particle Packs
Particle Packs lets a resource pack define custom particles for the Fabric client, with their own animations and behavior.
What it does
Custom particles are declared through a resource pack rather than code, so artists can add effects without writing a mod. Animation and behavior are set per particle, and the pack can also drive biome particle weather, which a standalone version system handles. Writing particles with fully custom behavior requires programming knowledge. The mod is client-side only and runs on Fabric for 1.21.4, with the 1.0.1 build as the latest file, released under the Apache License 2.0 as open source.
