World Effects

World Effects

Make every step feel alive.

World Effects adds material-aware footprints, movement particles and water reactions to Minecraft. Leave a trail through sand and snow, kick up small fragments as you sprint, and watch ripples spread across the water.

Features

• Full footprints on sand, snow, dirt and mud, with material-specific shading, left and right soles, and gradual fading.
• Custom movement particles: sand grains, snow powder, earth fragments, grass fragments, gravel chips and mud droplets.
• Jump and landing reactions that follow actual ground contact, including repeated jumping and sprint jumping.
• Selective vanilla particle replacement for supported movement effects, with a setting to restore the original particles.
• Water effects: ripples, swimming reactions and boat wakes.
• Vegetation contact details: small grass accents that bend and recover as you move.
• Quality presets and customization: adjust footprint size, lifetime, density, effect distance and particle limits.

Footprints follow supported ground, including suitable snow layers, slabs and stair surfaces. When a full impression cannot fit near an edge, it is skipped. Firm grass and gravel receive material-specific movement reactions instead of ordinary soft-ground impressions.

Installation

1. Use Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.1 and Java 21.
2. Download the file for your loader: Forge, NeoForge or Fabric.
3. Place it in your profile’s mods folder. Fabric users also need Fabric API.

World Effects is a client-side cosmetic mod. It works in singleplayer and multiplayer without requiring installation on the server. Effects do not change terrain blocks or gameplay mechanics.
