⚔️ Weapon Trails

Give your melee attacks a little more style.

Weapon Trails is a lightweight Minecraft datapack that adds a subtle particle trail whenever you swing a sword or axe, creating a clean visual slash effect without changing gameplay.

✨ Features

• 🪓 Axe trails — Works with all vanilla axes.
• ✨ Lightweight — Designed to have minimal performance impact.
• 👥 Multiplayer-friendly — Works with multiple players simultaneously.

• 🔄 Easy to install — Drop it into your world’s datapacks folder and you’re ready to go.
• 🎨 Customizable — Particle effects and other settings can be adjusted through the datapack’s configuration.

🎮 How It Works

Simply attack with a sword or axe and a small trail of particles will appear around the weapon’s swing, giving melee combat a little more visual feedback.

It doesn’t add new weapons, change damage values, or alter combat mechanics — it’s purely cosmetic.

2. Place the .zip file inside your world’s datapacks folder.
3. Start/restart the world or run: /reload
4. That’s it!

💡 Why?

Minecraft combat can sometimes feel a little… empty visually.

Weapon Trails adds a tiny bit of flair to every swing without turning your screen into a particle explosion. Just a simple slash → ✨.
