Whether you’re designing custom boss fights, magic systems, or animated cutscenes, Particle Animation Lib lets you define both 2D and 3D particle forms without deep rendering code.

Why use Particle Animation Lib Mod?

If you’re developing a mod, server minigame, or cinematic experience and need fine control over particle visuals, Particle Animation Lib is the ideal solution. It saves countless hours of coding and testing by offering out-of-the-box shape rendering and animation support. You don’t need to reinvent particle math logic or mess with complex rendering hooks just define your effect and animate it with ease. Combined with the optional command companion mod, it’s one of the most effective tools for visual mod development in Minecraft Fabric/Quilt environments.

FAQs

Is this a standalone mod?

No. It is a developer library. Players won’t see any visible changes unless another mod uses it to trigger animations.

Can I use this mod without programming?

Not directly. However, with the help of the **Particle Animation Lib Commands** mod, you can experiment with and test animations using commands.

Does this work in multiplayer?

Yes, but it must be installed client-side and server-side if used in actual gameplay. Visual effects will sync via network packets if configured correctly.

Can I use it in my modpack?

Yes. As a lightweight library with no gameplay changes, it’s safe to include in any Fabric or Quilt-based modpack.

How do I install Particle Animation Lib Mod?

Install the Fabric or Quilt loader for your version of Minecraft, then place the mod’s `.jar` file into the `mods` folder. If needed, also include the command companion mod for easier use.
