ParticleDrawing
by NekoWs
ParticleDrawing is a NeoForge library for playing particle animations, exported from an external tool, in the game's particle system.
What it does
The library plays particle animations on the client, with a focus on high performance. Animations are exported and placed in a folder under the game directory, then started from in-game commands; a reload of the game is needed after adding new files. The mod also exposes API calls so other mods can trigger the same animations. Kotlin for Forge is required and must be installed with it. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 26.2, under the Apache License 2.0, which is open source.
