About this Mod
This is just a silly datapack that adds projectile trails, This datapack serves no propose and is just for fun.
If you want to change which particle is used for which projectile navigate to the Data folder, Then 2chocoman142, then functions, then Tick.mcfunction and chnage the particle name to whichever particle you want, if you need help with that visit my Discord server and and I will help you set it up to your likings, Otherwise here are the default particles for each projectile:
- Snowballs: snowflake particles
- wind charges: llama spit particles (it actually works really well with wind charges lol)
- ender pearls: soul particles
- experience bottles
- tridents: smoke campfire particles (I honestly had no idea what to do with tridents, I'm open for suggestions)
6)eggs: cherry blossom particles (cause yes) - potions: damage indicator particles (aka those small dark hearts)
- arrows: wax on particles(they look dope)
- fishing rods: sharpness particles
This video showcases all the particles(it was recorded on pojava because my PC would explode if i tried to record)
