About this Mod

Kills the particle "engine" at the source. Unlike other particle mods that cull or hide particles, this cancels them before any object is allocated - nothing is created, ticked or rendered. Zero overhead for performance instances. As far as I know, I am the only person whos done this. This is compatible with both VulkanMod and Sodium

I actually encourage people to fork this and make it available for other versions while keeping it lightweight. Give credit where its due. Since theres no config, (or any plans to add one) I wouldn't reccomend this if you need to see certain particles

As far as I know, only block-break particles are seen in the newest versions, but everything else works. Originally made for 1.21.4 but the other listed versions should work aswell

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a particle engine killer need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks a particle engine killer 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 a particle engine killer require?

Use a file for fabric and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 1.21.11, 1.21.10, 1.21.9. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

a particle engine killer 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.
