smokedrift
by Zolloww
Smokedrift adds a stylish purple smoke trail that follows the player as they move, with toggles for how strong the trail appears.
What it does
The trail is a purely visual effect drawn behind the player while they walk, run or fight. Its intensity can be changed with customizable toggle controls, so players can tune the look to their taste. Because it only changes appearance, it does not alter gameplay.
The mod needs Cloth Config API and Fabric API. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Builds exist for Fabric across 12 release versions, 1.21 – 1.21.11, under All rights reserved.
