Description

Particular header

A 1.12.2 port of Particular ✨ Reforged by Leclowndu93150.

Particular fills the world with hand-crafted ambient particles: splashes, waterfalls, cave dust, falling leaves, fireflies and ripples. It is client-side and cosmetic, so it runs on any server.

Features

  • Water and lava splash crowns. Entities falling into water or lava raise an animated splash crown sized to the entity, plus foam, rings and droplets.

    A water splash crown

  • Cascading waterfalls. Falling water and lava edges spawn cascade and spray particles.

  • Cave dust. Faint drifting dust motes appear in dark caves below sea level, denser the deeper you go.

  • Falling leaves. Leaf blocks drop leaves tinted by their texture and biome. They sway or spin as they fall, settle flat on the ground, and float with a ripple on water.

  • Fireflies. Fireflies rise from grass, flowers and tall plants at night within the right temperature range.

  • Water ripples. Rain and dripping water leave expanding ripples on the surface.

  • Ender and chest bubbles. Ambient bubble effects, including puffs when a chest opens.

  • Extra touches. Emissive lava drips and cake-eating crumbs.

  • In-game config. Every effect can be toggled and tuned live under Mods, Particular, Config.

Changes from the original

  • Firefly spawn lists. fireflyExtraBlocks adds blocks that spawn fireflies (modded flowers, ferns), and fireflyBiomeWhitelist limits fireflies to the biomes you list.
  • Compatibility notice. With Falling Leaves or Weather2 installed, a one-time chat message warns that leaves may double up. showCompatWarning turns it off.
  • Cave dust density. Dust spawns more often than on 1.20.1 (caveDustSpawnChance 300 instead of 700), since 1.12.2 caves have less open air.
  • Barrel and soul sand bubbles are left out: 1.12.2 has no barrels or bubble columns.
  • Rain on water keeps the vanilla splash alongside the ripple.

Requirements

Minecraft 1.12.2 and Forge 14.23.5.2860 or newer. Client-side only.

Known issues

  • With Better Weather installed, both mods draw rain ripples on water. Set rainRipples to false in Particular's config to keep only Better Weather's.
  • Water ripples are very faint, and leaves that settle on water look like they sit under the surface, because Minecraft 1.12.2 draws particles before water.
