New atmospheric effects:

  • Steam from the mouth in cold biomes (if the player is running, the particles appear more frequently);
  • Bubbles from the mouth while you have oxygen underwater;
  • Bubbles from an open chest underwater;
  • Drip effect from the player when he comes out of the water;
  • New effects for lamps, fires and campfires (and their soul analogues);
  • Sparks from burning entities, just like from fire and campfires;
  • Additional effects from running on snow or sand;
  • Footprints while walking on snow;
  • Small snow residue left after walking off snowy surfaces;
  • Cave dust;
  • Columns of steam when water and hot blocks come into contact (like lava or a cauldron with lava);
  • Sparks from under the wheels of a minecart when moving at high speed;
  • Bubbles now appear from decorated pots when underwater;
  • Sparks now appear when hitting metal blocks with iron, gold, or netherite tools (this effect will be adapted for modded metal items in the future);
  • Particles now appear when placing sand, gravel, or snow blocks;
  • A subtle trail while gliding with Elytra;
  • Black smoke while the Wither effect is active.

Does this mod affect performance? Only slightly. The effects are optimized.
