Particulate💦
by DunneWorteI
Particulate adds 3D water splashes, waterfall cascades and fireflies to Fabric clients, changing how falling water and ambient scenes look.
What it does
The mod draws water splashes in three dimensions. Each splash takes the color of the water it lands in, grows wider for wider entities, and grows taller the farther the entity falls. Cascades appear where falling water runs more than 2 blocks down from a source block and the top source has at least one open side, and their strength follows the height of the falling water and the number of open sides.
Fireflies add small moving lights to the scene as an ambient effect. Particulate is a client-side only mod: only the client needs it, and a server can run without it. It requires Fabric API and oωo (owo-lib) on Fabric 1.21.5 – 1.21.11, with the latest file 1.0.7+1.21.11 for 1.21.11, released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so the code is open source.
Key features
3D water splashes
Splashes are rendered in three dimensions and take the color of the water they land in.
Size by entity
A wider entity produces a wider splash, and a longer fall produces a taller one.
Waterfall cascades
Falling water over a deep drop forms cascades whose strength depends on the water height and open sides.
Fireflies
Fireflies drift through the scene as a decorative ambient effect.
