Spark Scatter

Spark Scatter

Adds subtle visual feedback to redstone machinery. When pistons extend, they release a small burst of smoke particles. Hoppers transferring items emit tiny dust particles in the direction of transfer. Dispensers and droppers produce a quick flash of crit particles when firing. Observers pulse with brief electric particles when detecting block updates. Comparators emit faint redstone particles based on their signal strength output.

Particles only spawn on actual activation events rather than constant emission, so performance impact is minimal. The system runs server-wide, meaning all players benefit from the enhanced visual feedback regardless of who built the machinery.

Each particle effect is deliberately minimal, lasting only a few ticks, ensuring dense redstone builds remain visually readable. Technical players can use the particle cues for debugging complex circuits, while casual players benefit from machines that feel more responsive.
