About this Mod

Do you miss the old explosion particles? I do, so I tried to recreate them and I made this mod.

The particles are a recreation, so they might not be exactly the same than the old particles.

This mod is only a cosmetic change, so it is a client mod and can be used in vanilla servers.

Thank you for downloading the mod.
