Star Orbs
by Adoxi
Star Orbs replaces the plain experience orbs dropped by mobs and blocks with glowing orbs shaped like sparkling points that spin and scatter when they appear.
What it does
When a source releases experience, the vanilla orbs are swapped for shining orbs that drift outward from the spawn point, with a slow spin and a spread of slightly different sizes. The effect is cosmetic and leaves the amount of experience a player collects unchanged. Optional particle effects and configurable colors let server owners and players adjust how the orbs look.
Key features
Glowing experience orbs
Experience orbs appear as glowing shapes that slowly spin after they spawn, in place of the default orbs.
Configurable colors
The color of the orbs can be changed through the mod's settings, and optional particle effects can be turned on or off.
Scattered spawn
Orbs fly outward on spawn across a range of sizes, so a burst of experience looks less uniform than vanilla orbs.
