Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.21.0-pre.1 - 1.21.6 and 1.22.0-pre.1 - 1.22.0-rc.7):
SubtleParticlesPlus_1.0.2.zip 1-click install
NOTE: This is not a standalone mod. You must have the Particles Plus mod from el_shift installed
Subtle Particles Plus replaces the default Particles Plus config with a more restrained preset that makes the particle effects:
- lower
- softer
- more subtle
- better blended into the world
It changes the default visuals of these blocks
- Blue Clay
- Red Clay
- Fire Clay
- High Fertility Soil
- Peat
Important notes
- Requires that you also install the Particles Plus mod
- This mod is designed as an addon, not a standalone replacement mod
- On first install, it replaces the Particles Plus config with the Subtle preset config.
- If Particles Plus had already generated its config, a world reload will be required for the new settings to take effect (and this mod will tell you so)
- When Subtle Particles Plus overwrites the config with its own you will loose any changes you made through the Particles Plus UI.
- After the Subtle config has been installed, you can then make aditional changes through the Particles Plus UI and they should stick.
Why I made this
I like what Particles Plus does. It very frustrating to go exploring for some peat or high fertility soil and walk right over it because it just looks like any other grass block. But I didn't want it just hand the blocks to me. I still wanted to fell like I earned it through exploration.I wanted the visuals to be just enough to make it so I didn't miss it when it was right under my nose but not feel like I had super vision and was able to spot it from hundreds of blocks away. So this is my personal take on that balance.
If you like the idea of environmental particle hints, but want them to be more understated and immersive, this mod is for you.

Yes it works on all versions of Particles Plus technically
works on 1.21.6 ?
Sharpiee I totally agree and thats why you may have noticed I made a new one. That initial video is very old. It was from when I modified the config of version 1 of Particles Plus and it most definitely needed a refresh.
I would change or update the showcase video, as it is very exaggerated and doesn't really show what the mod is intended to do. Tbh I didn't really understand why you called it "subtle" particles plus at first XD! I took a closer look at the thumbnail and now understand how it is supposed to look and I am a fan! I really like the different particles for the different types of clay, makes finding blue clay expecially more rewarding.
Thanks for the feedback everyone - I believe I've got everything fix now. Download 1.0.2 and Delete particlesplus.json from your ModConfig folder. Then you should be crash free. Results may very. 🤣
JimmyMac Good job! Just a heads up, apperently "null" values can cause crashes so you want to remove everything with "null" value in your custom config. Tool that we used for those is old and unsupported so some manual labor is required. Peace.
I tried this mod on my current world. But after loading in and doing the reload as instructed, the whole game is crashing, and I can't even use ParticlesPlus on its own. I tried uninstalling both mods, and now ParticlesPlus is permanently broken. I just dont think this mod should be added to an old world. Only use on new worlds or something.
