AkatZumaTool
I added some simple visual effects to the homemade gadgets, such as electromagnetic cannon beams and tracking flying swords, using GPU particles and shader.

About this Mod
About
AkatZumaTool is a lightweight weapon mod for Minecraft that uses a custom rendering pipeline to deliver flashy visual effects.
All beams, lightning, and explosion particles are rendered in real-time via custom Shaders, supporting up to hundreds of thousands of particles for a greatly enhanced visual experience.
Note: The GPU particle and post-processing systems require OpenGL 4.3 (satisfied by most discrete GPUs).
New Items
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Coin | Right-click and hold to charge, release to fire a piercing beam. Consumable item. Max range 50 blocks, damage 20. |
| Colorful Coin | Enhanced version of the Coin with 256 durability. Enchantable, max range 60 blocks, damage 40. The beam can also break blocks. |
