Afterimages

A lightweight, data-driven mod that adds visual afterimage trails to entities. You can configure which entities have afterimages, how they look, and when they appear—entirely through Resource Packs.

Features

• Data-Driven: Every aspect of the afterimage (duration, color, triggers) is controlled via JSON files.
• Mod Compatible: Built-in support for Combat Roll and other mods in the future, upon request.

Global Configuration

This mod uses Cloth Config for global settings. You can access the config menu via Mod Menu (on Fabric) or the configured keybind.

Entity Configuration

To add an afterimage to an entity, create a JSON file in your resource pack at: assets/<namespace>/afterimages/entities/<entity_name>.json

Example: Standard Arrow Trail

assets/example/afterimages/entities/arrow.json

{
  "entity": "minecraft:arrow",
  "speed_threshold": 0.5,
  "duration": 5,
  "color": "0xFFFFFF",
  "start_alpha": 0.6
}

Example: Combat Roll Exclusive

assets/example/afterimages/entities/player.json

{
  "entity": "minecraft:player",
  "combat_roll_only": true,
  "duration": 15,
  "start_alpha": 0.8
}

Configuration Fields

Mod Integration

Combat Roll

Afterimages has native support for the Combat Roll mod.

• Usage: Set "combat_roll_only": true in your player configuration file to make trails appear exclusively during a roll dodge.
