PrettyGoodParticles API
by Nhbybnb
PrettyGoodParticles API is a Fabric library for building particle effects, with a builder interface that other mods can call from their own code.
What it does
Other mods use the library to create particle effects without writing their own rendering code. A quick reference guide describes how to use it.
The library runs on the client only, so only the client needs it; a server does not have to run it. It is published for Fabric and covers 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 1.21.4, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.4 as the latest file. Combat Feedback requires it. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
