Particular ✨
by Chai
Particular adds hand-crafted visual effects to the world, including fireflies, falling leaves and waterfall cascades, that players can switch off individually.
What it does
Splashes are drawn in 3D and take their color from the water beneath them. A wider entity produces a wider splash, and a longer drop produces a taller one. Where falling water lands on a source block that is at least two blocks deep and has an open side, a cascade forms, and its strength grows with the height of the fall and the number of open sides on the source water.
Fireflies drift through the air as an added ambient effect. Individual effects can be switched off through the config, which also sets the biomes where cave dust should not spawn. Particular runs client-side only, so a server does not need it, and it requires Fabric API and oωo (owo-lib). Mod Menu is optional and provides an in-game settings screen.
Particular is published for Fabric only, for 1.20 – 1.21.4 with 9 release versions, under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and it is open source. Its latest file is 1.1.2+1.21 for 1.21.1, published on 2025-04-20 on the beta channel.
Key features
3D water splashes
Splashes are rendered in three dimensions and match the color of the water they land in.
Splash size by entity and fall
A wider entity makes a wider splash, and a taller fall makes a taller one.
Waterfall cascades
Cascades form where falling water sits over at least two blocks of source water with an open side.
Cascade strength
The strength of a cascade scales with the falling water's height and the count of open sides on the source water.
Fireflies
Fireflies add a visual ambient effect to the world, and each effect can be turned off in the config.
