Particles Enhanced
by isxander
Players who want more particle effects in combat can use Particles Enhanced, a Forge client mod for Minecraft 1.8.9 by isxander.
What it does
Particles Enhanced changes which particles appear during fights and how many spawn at once. It is aimed at players who want combat to show more visual feedback than vanilla Minecraft 1.8.9 provides. The mod only affects the client, so servers do not need to install it.
The mod is published for Forge only, with a single game version: 1.8.9. The latest file is 1.2.0, released on 2022-01-01, and that is also the first and last publication date recorded for the mod. Its license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source, though public links to the source code and issue tracker exist.
Key features
Particle Multiplier
Increases the number of particles spawned, up to 20 times the vanilla amount, and can be turned off entirely.
Always Show Sharp Particles
Spawns sharpness particles on every hit, even when the held sword does not have the Sharpness enchantment.
Always Show Crit Particles
Spawns critical hit particles on every attack, including attacks that did not land a critical hit.
Compatibility

How it compares
Particle Shield is open source under the Apache License 2.0 and also a Forge client mod for 1.8.9. OverflowParticles is a client-side mod with a custom license that covers Fabric, Forge and Ornithe builds for 1.8.9 – 26.3, so it reaches a wider set of loaders. Particified and NoCrits are both client and server mods for Forge 1.20.1, each under All rights reserved.
