Calm Down, Particles!

Calm Down, Particles!

This mod fixes a annoying Forge bug: "Particles sometimes ‘losing’ the lightmap and drawn as fullbright."

🔺 Reminder

• Forge 1.16.1-32.0.59 didn’t fix this issue correctly, so it still exists.
• The author is NOT reponsible for breaking the game or your saves.
• This mod may conflict with others and I don’t have the duty to find it out for you.
• You can make the mod available for 1.16.2 by editing META-INF/mods.toml by yourself.

📜 History

Forge allows custom particle types, therefore changing the rendering order of particles and causing particle issues. Forge tried to fix it but failed to fix the one with lighting.

I submitted the bug report and received no reply. Then I decided to fix it by myself.

📖 Description

All the particles will be rendered as fullbright sometimes when an entity picks up an item or an experience orb.

The mod fixes it.

📝 Configuration

The fix is not hacky, therefore does not need a configuration.

🔗 Dependencies

Required MixinBootstrap: For loading Mixins with Forge.

Incompatible Cull Particles: Necessarily conflict.
