Latest file for v1.19.8:
particlesplus_v1.1.0.zip 1-click install


Works fine with 1.20 pre :)

What this mod does by default:

  • Adds drip particles to logs with resin.
  • Adds ember particles to meteoric iron.
  • Adds "smoky" particles to high fertility and terra preta soils.

Advanced usage (edit, add, remove particles):

This feature is for advanced users only, you will need basic understanding of:

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

In order to edit / add / remove particles please copy and edit particlesplus.json from assets/particlesplus/config inside of particlesplus.zip to your ModConfig folder under VintagestoryData.

You can use Modding Tools by Maltiez for creating / exporting particles code.

If you need help with custom config you can hit me up on my discord server https://discord.gg/VCfmjGwzQc and ask for help in #particles-plus

You can also find some custom configs there.

NastyFlytrap Once again you can do pretty much anything u want via config file. I don't think I will be writing any UI for it ever. If you need help with config file you can write me on discord.

💬 NastyFlytrap, Oct 5th at 11:01 PM

Yea, they are, but the game logic you wrote isnt, and if you write a bit more that lets us toggle the individual functionalities on and off, and then let us change those in game using config lib, then that'll work

💬 StaniboyAuthor, Sep 30th at 11:15 PM

NastyFlytrap yeah no promises :D those particle configs are pretty much raw game object so... Again if u want particle editing Modding Tools are pretty good. This plugin is just a hook for the game engine pretty much to insert w/e u want 

💬 NastyFlytrap, Sep 29th at 3:54 PM

Config lib is for editing the config files of mods, in game, without having to edit text files, and needing to relaunch the game.

💬 StaniboyAuthor, Sep 28th at 8:30 PM

NastyFlytrap you probably can configure it this way ticking some box for particle collision just like in resin particles. Or you could remove meteoric iron from config completely since there is really no exposed meteoric iron in-game. I don't see any reason to add config lib since you pretty much can add any particles to any blocks and if you need to create your own particles u can use Modding Tools by Maltiez who also created Config Lib. You can hit me up on discord @staniboy if you need help with editing config 

edit: Under meteorite-iron, change "TerrainCollision" to true

It'd be really nice if i could make it not show the meteoric iron particles if the blocks are still buried. Yes, i know it defeats the purpose of easily finding it, but, still. I dont want the game to tell me these things if i cant physically see the block. With the terra preta its fine because its the top layer, i can see it, i just need to pay attention, so its not cheating with that.

 

Edit: Its great that you're letting us configure the mod, but, would it be possible to create a setting that only shows the particles for the iron if its 'exposed to air'?

Also, any chance for config lib support?

Germugulgon yes, see "Advanced Usage" then you can remove particles for meteoric iron, basicly you can cut out whole section. Let me know if you need more help.

💬 Germugulgon, Aug 13th at 1:13 AM

Great mod! Is there a way I can disable the functionality for meteoric iron and keep the other two?

I'm fine with the help finding soil and resin, but would rather keep iron rare and more meaningful to find.  Unsure if I can do that with the config, it appears to mostly be the visuals related to the particles rather than a flag toggle.

Cheers.
