Particle Interactions

Particle Interactions v0.4

v0.4 includes a bunch of new particles, some graphical improvements, and a bit of extra polish

New Block Particle Overrides

• Dust (applies to sand, gravel, sus sand, sus gravel, concrete powder, soul sand, and soul soil by default)
• Heavy Grass Blade (applies to hanging roots, pale hanging moss, cobweb, and tripwire by default)
• Moss Clump (applies to moss and moss carpets by default, only in the 1.21.3 version)
• Pale Moss Clump (applies to pale moss and pale moss carpets by default)

Graphical Changes

• Item / Block Particles (these are the vanilla block breaking and food eating particles) are now pixel consistent. This means that they no longer have thin or inconsistent edges, and the pixels in the particle texture should match the size of surrounding pixels more closely. This can be disabled through the config menu, as with every other feature in this mod.
• Sparks have an additional "flash" effect that can appear randomly
• Sparks are now coloured with a texture instead of hardcoded colours
• Soul Sparks no longer have a weird purple tinge
• Sparks now get less emissive as they age
• A block item that has been given data to make it edible will now show the particles from the respective Block Particle Override. For example, eating sand will show the dust particles

New Particles

Block Interactions

• Sparks when combining items in an anvil
• Sparks when disenchanting or combining items in a grindstone

Item Interactions

• Dust particles when brushing blocks that don't have block particle overrides. Can be changed in the config to use the v0.3 behaviour or to disable brushing particles entirely. The speed of particles when brushing certain blocks has also been adjusted to more closely match the vanilla brushing particles

Entity Particles

• Sparks now spawn from blazes randomly and when hurt

New Config Tab

A new general / compatibility tab has been added. This tab includes a few new options and some options that were previously hidden:

• Pixel consistent item/block particles, mentioned in the Graphical Changes section
• Particle Z-Fighting fix, This feature has been in the mod since v0.1, but now you can disable it if you wish!
• Advanced Particle Physics, Allows you to disable some physics calculations to slightly improve performance
• Some additional debug settings that were accessible by holding ctrl while opening the config menu in v0.3

• small patch to fix the config screen on yacl 3.6.0 and above on 1.21.1
• use v0.3 of this mod if you are on 1.21.2 or 1.21.3

• Updated the fabric.mod.json to depend on any fabric loader version greater than 0.16.0 instead of the latest

Version 0.3 includes a few features including:

• 1.21.3 support
• Smoke and fire particles are emitted when lighting a block with a fire charge
• Grass blade particles have been added and apply to grass blocks, grass, tall grass, and hay bales by default
• Block Particle Overrides now apply when sprinting on or breaking a block. (previously only applied when placing or breaking blocks)
• Sparks when crafting an item in an anvil (this is disabled by default as it will be improved in a future update)
• Better mod compatibility, there should hopefully be less crashes and incompatibilities with other mods

Changes:

• The Blocks config tab has been renamed to Block Particle Overrides to better describe what it does
  • Block lists are now collapsed by default. To expand them, click the arrow on the left
  • Block Particle Overrides have been refactored to hopefully allow custom overrides to be added by other mods in the future
  • To disable block placement or breaking particles, you must now set the Max particles when block placed / broken option to 0 instead of using an on/off toggle
• The Block Ambient config tab has been renamed to Block Interactions / Ambient
• Config for underwater bubble particles has been moved to the Block Interactions / Ambient tab

Bug fixes

• Block placement particles now show up where the block was actually placed, not where the player clicked (for example when bridging with scaffolding) #10
• Underwater bubble particles now always show even if the block shouldn't spawn normal placement or breaking particles #9
• Blocks such as nether portals, candle cakes, potted flower pots, etc now once again have particles when breaking them #7
