I DONT WANT PARTICLES!!!
by Itamio
With I DONT WANT PARTICLES!!!, the particle effects that Minecraft would draw are stopped before they are ever created, which is the mod's whole purpose.
What it does
The mod targets the particle system of the game. Patched bytecode intercepts each particle spawn call inside the world code and returns immediately, so nothing is generated for the screen. Because the cut happens before a particle object exists, the mod costs almost no processing time of its own, and players may see higher frame rates in scenes where particles pile up, such as large fights, heavy explosions or dense weather.
The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players join without installing anything. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and the latest files are 1.0.0 for 26.1.2, dated 2026-05-04. Game versions run 1.8.9 – 26.1.2 across 35 release versions, and the code is open source under the MIT License. Its first file appeared on 2026-04-10. No other mod is required.
Key features
Complete particle removal
All particle effects are blocked, not only a set of categories, so the game draws no particles at all.
Early interception
The cancellation runs at the bytecode level, before a particle is created, which is why it outperforms event-based cancellation.
Patched spawn method
The World spawn method for particles is altered so that the call returns at once, adding no per-particle work.
Minimal overhead
Because blocked particles are never built, the mod is meant to add little cost while removing the visual effect.
