by SAGER1902

SagerFX is a Forge library that provides a custom special effects rendering system for other mods to build on.

ForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.12.2 – 1.20.1

What it does

SagerFX supplies the rendering layer for special effects. It combines particles in several ways and draws them with trailing methods that stay independent of the original particle behavior, so a mod using it can produce effects beyond the vanilla set. The system was developed as part of the TechgunsMod project, and the author notes that it is being maintained and upgraded separately from the Techguns codebase.

The mod is a Forge build for 1.20.1, released as version 1.1 on 2026-03-27, and it was first published on 2025-01-22. Its files also cover the 1.12.2 and 1.16.5 game versions, so three release versions are available in total. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The source code is public and the project is released under the MIT License, which makes it open source. Texture materials bundled with the mod fall under a separate CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 license.

Use cases

Mod authors building effects

Combat and weapon effects

The system was built for the TechgunsMod project, so weapon and combat visuals are a natural use.

Who it’s for: Mod developers who need a shared special effects layer, and players who run TechgunsMod-related content on Forge 1.20.1 and want the effects it supports.
