SnAssets Library - Particles
by Mr_Mulle
SnAssets Particles is a library of particle sprite textures that other mods can reference by path, without copying the image files.
What it does
The library holds textures for effects such as sparks, explosions, fire, dirt and glass, along with bubbles, leaves and splinters. Each texture sits under assets/snassets particles/textures/particle, and textures in a subfolder keep that subfolder in their path, as with bulletholes/bullethole basic. A mod refers to a texture with a namespaced id such as snassets particles:bang0 inside its own particle JSON, so it can point at the library instead of bundling its own copies.
SnAssets Particles only provides texture files. A mod that uses them still has to define and register its own particle type where the loader and version require it. The library is a dependency for the textures alone, and it is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.20 – 26.2, with the latest file for 26.2. The mod is not open source, and it is released under All rights reserved. Redistributing the PNG files inside another mod's bundle is prohibited, so dependent mods must reference the library rather than copy the assets.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Mod developers who want particle textures for their own effects without bundling PNG files. Players gain nothing directly, since the library only supplies textures to other mods.
How it compares
Particle Packs is a Fabric-only mod for 1.21.4 that runs on the client alone, and it is open source under the Apache License 2.0. AAA Particles Command is server-side only, is not open source, and is published for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. SnAssets Particles works on either side, and neither needs it, so it adds nothing to a server unless a mod depends on it.
