Particle Party
by CrazM13
Particle Party lets players attach visual particle effects to specific blocks, so a torch-less flame or a nether portal's shimmer can appear wherever a builder wants it.
What it does
Particle Party attaches particles to blocks. Its Ender Lens is a tool that gathers the particles already present on a block, and those gathered particles can then be displayed again on chosen blocks. Builders can use this to make floating flames without any torches, or to place portal particles behind a wall so a nether portal can be hidden from view.
The mod is aimed at decoration and atmosphere work in survival and creative worlds alike. Because the effects are tied to individual blocks, a build can carry its own lighting mood without changing the vanilla light level. It runs on Fabric with the Fabric API expected alongside, and it is released under the MIT License, though it is not open source. Files exist for Minecraft 26.2 only, with version 1.0.0 as the latest file, published on 2026-08-09.
The Ender Lens is crafted from a single ender pearl, which keeps the particle tools cheap to obtain. The mod runs on the client and the server, so a multiplayer server and every player who joins need it installed.
Key features

Ender Lens gathering
The Ender Lens collects particles from a block, and the collected effects can be displayed on other blocks.
Floating flames
Flames can hover in the air without torches or any other light source behind them.
Hidden portal effects
Portal particles can be placed behind a wall, letting a builder show a portal's glow without the portal itself.
