A Fabric client-side mod improving Minecraft's ambience through particles, visual effects and sounds.
⚠️ Please note: This mod is intended to be used with the Fast or Fancy graphic setting. Not Fabulous. The Fabulous graphic setting often tends to break mods visually with water. ⚠️
The mod adds various effects like water splashes, waterfall clouds, fireflies, improved visual effects, screen shake and many more.
Every effect is customisable and can be toggled in the configuration.
