Effectual

What Effectual does Effectual layers subtle ambient particles onto the game world. You see steam puff from your mouth in cold biomes, more often when sprinting. Bubbles drift from your mouth while underwater and from open chests or decorated pots submerged in water. Stepping out of water leaves a drip trail. Lamps, fires, campfires, and their soul variants emit new particle effects. Burning entities throw sparks. Running on snow or sand kicks up extra particles, and walking on snow leaves footprints with a light snow residue when you step off. Cave dust floats underground. Steam columns rise where water meets lava or a lava-filled cauldron. Minecarts at high speed spark along rails. Striking metal blocks with iron, gold, or netherite tools produces sparks. Placing sand, gravel, or snow blocks spawns brief particles. Elytra gliding leaves a faint trail. The Wither effect surrounds you with black smoke. Every effect can be toggled off in the config file. ## Who it suits Players who want a more immersive atmosphere without gameplay changes. It works well alongside shader packs and other visual mods. Because it's client-side only, you can install it on any Fabric or Neoforge client without touching the server. Modpack authors are free to include it. ## Compatibility and requirements Effectual runs on Fabric and Neoforge for Minecraft 1.21.1, 1.21.11, 26.1.2, and 26.2. And it requires Architectury API, Cloth Config API, and TLib. The author states compatibility with mods like Effective and Particular, with conflicts resolvable through the config.

No benchmarks are provided.
