RunParticle
by Kameme51702
RunParticle is a lightweight Fabric mod that adds customizable particle effects while the player sprints, and it runs only on the client.
What it does
While a player sprints, RunParticle spawns particle effects behind the character. The effect type and the number of particles can be changed in game with commands, so the look can be tuned without editing files. Soul Fire and Totem Undying are among the available effect types.
The mod is built to stay small: it does no work on the server, and only the client needs it. Installation is client-side only, and the server does not need a copy. Files are published for Fabric, for Minecraft 1.21.11, with 1.1.0 as the latest file from 2026-05-31, and the code is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which makes it open source.
Key features
Sprint particle trail
Particles appear behind the character while sprinting, drawn on the client only.
Multiple particle effects
Several particle types are available, including Soul Fire and Totem Undying, and can be selected per effect.
Adjustable particle amount
The number of particles spawned can be raised or lowered to suit the look and the performance of the client.
In-game commands
Effect type and amount are set with commands in the game, so no restart or file editing is needed.

How it compares
Copicrafts Pvp Utility is a client-side Fabric mod for 1.21.1 under All rights reserved, and it is not open source. Kill Effects is a client-side Fabric mod under the MIT License for 1.21 – 1.21.11, and it is not open source. Totem_of_undying is server-side only and covers 1.21.8 – 1.21.11, so it differs from RunParticle in where it runs.
