1-click install
What this mod does by default:
- Adds drip particles to logs with resin.
- Adds ember particles to meteoric iron.
- Adds blue ember particles for suevite diamonds.
- 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.
You can also find some custom configs there.

Is there a way to increase the distance at which particles can start appearing? It seems that if I am too high up they wont spawn.
Would you consider adding particles for blue and fire clay, now that they are so hard to find??

This JSON is perfect as far as my needs go. Thanks a ton for uploading this here.
Have you considered maybe posting the file as a mod on this database so people could parse versions and whatnot? Would keep it from staying buried in the comment section of its parent mod.
Ghaelen why would farmland give any particles? Particles are for soil not farmland. And this mod is a client side only mod. Why are you installing this on your server?
Thap not with this mod no
Is there a way to make the particles only appear when you are close? And not go much far up, only like three blocks?
It is still working fine as of 1.20.5 btw, not sure why it isn't working for others
This doesnt seem to work for me either.
Edit: I didn't rwealise time was stopped. Works just fine
Does this affect surface copper? I struggle to see them and am hoping this could help with that
Ragnarogk it seems that it only applies to running water. My guess would be that it spawns right bellow the block it's on with offset probably have something that checks in JSON assets for water or could be hardcoded into the game.
what about dripping particles to blocks just below water? Like if you are digging and the block above have water directly over it, particle that falls like dripping water.
Is it possible to have a hotkey to disable it/enable it (and reload when re-enabled)?
good soup
Ah that makes sense, it works! Thanks Staniboy
JimmyMac good job, I would add some more X and Z position variation through.
Zadak for regex you need to start key with "@" also use "(.*)" instead of plain "*". Soil setup is pretty good example for it. If you need to test it you can use something like regex101. Hit me up on discord I will take a look

I love this mod. Thanks for making it. I modified the iron, high fert, and terra. I added red blue and fire clay particles. For me the particles were just standing out too much making them way too easy to find. My version makes them much more subtle. You can't just look off at the horizon and see them a hundred blocks away but if you come across them in the world you won't miss them.

Best mod out there, I have a suggestion, because you say it supports Regex, but I tried it e.g. with using wildcards (.*) and it doesn't seem to work, however, wildcards (*) do act as "any"?
Am I misunderstanding naming things and the pattern matching it uses? Is it pure regex?
Keagan yup
will this work in 1.20.1 or will you update it to 1.20.1?
i like how it looks like dripping honey.
Sapion yes
is this a client side mod?
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.
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
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
Config lib is for editing the config files of mods, in game, without having to edit text files, and needing to relaunch the game.
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.
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.

nice mod, it's a real time-saver!
👎
i like it but the terra preta soils isnt that good but hey i can always "edit it out"
