About this Mod

]()

This is a simple mod that spawns death particles around mobs when they die, just like in the SAO anime.

The amount of particles is proportional to the size of the mob and will be costumizable in the future.

Recommendations
Use a No Damage Heart Resource Pack to get rid of the damage hearts.

Gamerules
You can use the gamerule saoParticlesSound to enable/disable the sound effect that comes with the particles.

You can use the gamerule doBodySpawns to enable/disable the bodies of the mobs after they die, can be helpful in some cases, like with Ice and Fire dragons.

Frequently Asked Questions

SAO Particles server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong forge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is SAO Particles compatible with forge?

SAO Particles officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with SAO Particles – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if SAO Particles consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
