About this Mod
Fanciest totem particles in the west!
Version 2.9!
Version 2.9 is finally out, adding gradients and tons of small improvements! This also brings the mod to a mostly complete state, meaning future updates and ports will be much faster! If you want to see a release for less common versions like 1.20.6, just ask.
Explaining the configuration
Categories
The configuration of the particle is split up into categories, which can be enabled and disabled at any time.
- General
- Global mod toggle - enable / disable the mod completely.
- Particle type - replace the totem particle with a different kind, for example criticals (this option ignores most parameters)
- Multiplier - see more or less particles when you pop a totem
- Show own totem particles - whether or not to show particles from yourself.
- Emitter settings (The emitter is what makes the particles coming from the player)
- Emitter lifetime - how long the particle will emit particles for (game default is 30 ticks)
- Vertical offset - move the emitter up or down
- Emitter moves with player - if enabled, the emitter will move with the player
- Misc
- Hide on ground - particles will be hidden when they touch the ground
- Collisions - Whether or not particles will collide with blocks
- Light Level - How brightly the particle will appear. setting to -1 will use world lighting.
- Color
- Blend colors - If enabled, will take the first two given colors and set the particle's color to a random color inbetween them, making a nice gradient
- Starting color - you can now add as many starting colors as you want; if you want colors to appear more often than others, just add a duplicate entry
- Color transitions - you have two seperate transitions, explained more below
- Fade to color - the target color to start fading to
- Fade speed - how fast to fade to that color
- Fade at % - at what percent of the particle's lifetime to fade at (e.g. if the lifetime is 60 ticks, 50% will start fading after 30 ticks)
- Rainbow
- Start Color - Will set the starting color of the particle to some random color from the rainbow
- Rainbow over time - Will change the particle color to be a part of the rainbow over time (If you want the particle colors to be synced, set the starting color to be a single color)
- Speed - how quickly the particle goes through the rainbow
- Alpha
- Minimum / Maximum alpha - randomly chooses an opacity of the particle between the specified values
- Fade out / Fade on ground - Specify when and how fast to fade out when the particle reaches a specific age / is on the ground
- Scale
- Minimum / Maximum scale - randomly chooses a scale between the specified values
- Scale over time / Scale on ground - specify when and how fast to scale when the particle reaches a specific age / is on the ground
- Age
- Minimum / Maximum age - randomly choose a age for how long the particle exists in ticks
- Movement
- Minimum / Maximum velocity multiplier - randomly choose a velocity multiplier for the particle
- Custom velocity
- Customize min/max X,Y and Z velocity independently!
- Gravity
- Minimum / Maximum starting gravity
- Gravity over time, change gravity at set speed at set lifetime
- Rotation
- Minimum / Maximum starting rotation
- Minimum / Maximum rotation speed
- Change at %
- Amount
- Smart mode - if enabled, the particles will lose speed over time if the "Amount" value is set to a negative number, regardless of the direction of their rotation. Vice versa for a positive number.
- Rotate on ground - whether or not to rotate particles when they are on the ground
Default Minecraft values
- Gravity = 1.25
- Velocity multiplier = 0.6
- Scale = 0.75

Does Custom Totem Particles need to be installed on the Minecraft server?
No. Modrinth marks Custom Totem Particles as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.
Which version and loader does Custom Totem Particles require?
Use a file for fabric and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 1.21.11, 1.21.4, 1.21.1. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.
Custom Totem Particles is not working – what should I check?
First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
