A Fabric client-side mod improving Minecraft's ambience through particles, visual effects and sounds

### ⚠️ Please note: This mod is intended to be used with the Fast or Fancy graphic setting. **Not Fabulous.** The Fabulous graphic setting often tends to break mods visually with water. ⚠️ The mod adds various effects like water splashes, waterfall clouds, fireflies, improved visual effects, screen shake and many more. Every effect is customisable and can be toggled in the configuration. ## Video showcase (Effective 2.1 + in depth cascade system explanation) ## Gallery ![Image](https://github.com/Ladysnake/Effective/blob/main/gallery/cascades.png?raw=true) ![Image](https://github.com/Ladysnake/Effective/blob/main/gallery/fireflies.png?raw=true) ![Image](https://github.com/Ladysnake/Effective/blob/main/gallery/chests.png?raw=true) ![Image](https://github.com/Ladysnake/Effective/blob/main/gallery/wisps.png?raw=true) ![Image](https://github.com/Ladysnake/Effective/blob/main/gallery/allays.png?raw=true) ![Image](https://github.com/Ladysnake/Effective/blob/main/gallery/sculk.png?raw=true) ## Current features: ### Water effects: - Splashes, droplets and ripples when entities fall in water - Waterfall clouds - Appears when water flows into two block deep water source blocks / a water source above a wool block (to make it silent) - Can also be used on beaches to simulate waves crashing - Waterfall mist - Appears when water directly flows from above into source blocks - Can be used to create fog or mist ambiences - If a water source above a wool block is used instead of two water sources, the mist will be colored after the wool - Flowing water droplets - Rain ripples - Glowing plankton - Makes splashes, droplets, ripples and waterfall clouds glow blue in warm oceans - Chests open underwater emit bubbles - Chests with soul sand below them open randomly when underwater ### Entity effects: - Glow squids hypnotize players - Glow squids named "jeb_" glow rainbow - Allay trails - Golden Allays ### Screen shake effects for: - Warden roars - Warden sonic booms - Ravager roars - Ender dragon roars ### Illuminated effects: - Fireflies in forests and humid biomes - Color depending on the biome - Frequency depending on the biome's humidity, the higher the more appear - Chorus petals around Chorus trees and when breaking Chorus flowers - Frequency depending on the Chorus flower's age - Will o' Wisps in soul sand valleys - Eyes in the dark that creep on you during Halloween ### Improved effects for: - Fireballs - Dragon fireballs and breath - Spectral arrows - Glow squid particles ### Miscellaneous effects: - Sculk dust floating out of sculk blocks - Cosmetics for supporters: [no longer available to purchase] - [Support dashboard](https://doctor4t.ladysnake.org/login) - Ultrakill parry effect when deflecting Ghast fireballs ## FAQ #### Q: Can I use this mod on a vanilla server? **A: Yes**. If you have installed this mod on your Minecraft client, you will be able to connect to vanilla Minecraft servers and the ambient effects will work as intended. #### Q: Can I port this mod to [Loader]? Can I update this mod to [Newer version]? **A: If you want to make a port or update of Effective, you are welcome to ask [in the Ladysnake Discord](https://discord.com/invite/RBHY26t) to get permission or [make a pull request on GitHub](https://github.com/Ladysnake/effective).** #### Q: Can you backport this mod to 1.x? When will you update to [Older version]? **A: No**. I mod Minecraft as a hobby with very limited time. Therefore, I will not backport this mod to older versions of Minecraft, and I will update it to future versions when I feel like it. If you want it updated to newer versions, feel free to contribute to the mod and make a pull request, it's appreciated! Otherwise, don't come begging. #### Q: Can I include this mod in a modpack? **A: Yes you can.** Please however provide credit and a link to the Modrinth project page. ###### Copyright (C) 2025 Ladysnake
