Particle Shield
by wvvern1
Particle Shield, a Forge mod for 1.8.9 that runs only on the client, clears away particles close to the player so the screen looks less crowded.
What it does
Particles gathered around the player can crowd the screen in busy fights or dense farms. The mod hides particles that come within a set distance of the player, so the view stays readable. The minimum distance for the player's particles is configurable, and the shield can be switched on or off at any time.
Key features
Near-player particle removal
Particles spawned close to the player are removed, which clears the area around the camera.
Adjustable minimum distance
The minimum distance for player particles has a default value and can be changed in the config.
Shield toggle
The shield can be enabled or disabled, and the config opens with the J key.
