1 required mod needs a matching file

Install ImGui first, but 1 required mod has no matching file for this setup. Do not mix loader builds to force a match.

We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.

  • Toggle all active presets on/off from GUI or with hotkey ("CTRL + P" by default)
  • Technically customizable particles (requires config file editing)

 

Adding custom particles:

If you want to add custom particles you can do it in the mod's config. You should be familiar with:

  • JSON formating
  • Wildcards and Regex
  • AdvancedParticleProperties Class properties from VintageStory API.

 

Just follow default config format. I highly recommend to use Modding Tools by Maltiez for creating / exporting particles code.

edit: Modding Tools are very outdated

Planned:

  • Particles editor

 

Q and A:

Q: Mod doesn't work on the server but works on SP

A: Some servers only allow whitelisted mods, others have a blacklist for certain mods. This mod is probably not allowed on that server.

 

Q: Can the render distance of the particles be changed?

A: No, it uses vanilla particle system and it renders exactly the same way as any particle in the game.

 

Q: "P" / "CTRL + P" does something else

A: Go to Settings > Controls and rebind Particles Plus hotkeys to something else.

Not working with 1.22: Delete old config file.

Edit: Should be handled automatically in 2.5.8... hopefully :)
