A Translucent AND Lit Particle Type

Tested on 2024.3, forge 1.20.1

Currently, there are 3 types of particles. Opaque, Lit, and Translucent.

• Opaque makes your particle not see-through, but does not light up.
• Lit makes your particle not shaded. (aka glowing)
• Translucent makes the particles with non-opaque pixels see-through.

I noticed that if you add the code below into a transparent-type particle code, it would make the transparent particle be both translucent and lit at the same time. You cannot do this without locking the code.

@Override

public int getLightColor(float partialTick) {

    return 15728880;
}

In summary, a particle that is both transparent and lit must have the same code as the translucent render type particle, but with the override function above that makes the translucent particle glow.

I suggest turning the Particle Render type drop-down option into two checkboxes, one labeled as translucent, and the other as lit.

The pseudo truth table below describes how the particle should render depending on the checkboxes.
