This plugin works for Minecraft 1.21.1 NeoForge although the Photon version for 1.21.1 is currently in beta it also works on Minecraft 1.20.1 Forge the 1.20.1 Forge version is working perfectly the plugin also works on Forge 1.19.4 and 1.19.2 however in these two versions the Photon API is in beta and the plugin version that supports these versions does not have all the procedural blocks that will be shown
This plugin was tested in 2022.3, 2023.1, 2023.2, 2023.3, 2023.4, 2024.1, 2024.2, 2024.3, 2024.4, 2025.1, 2025.2 and 2025.3
This API allows you to create VFX effects
Mod link:
https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/photon
To enable the API, go to the Workspace settings and enable Photon
This plugin includes several procedure blocks that allow you to rotate change the scale and do much more with Photon particles the blocks provided by the plugin are shown in the image below:
1.21.1 NeoForge
This API requires the creation of two folders inside the resources/assets directory of your mod:
- One folder called
ldlib2, and inside it, a folder calledresourcesand inside it, a folder calledglobal(ldlib2/resources/global/) - Another folder called
photonand inside it a folder calledfx(photon/fx/)
The visual effects must be placed inside the fx folder and the textures and .nbt files must be placed inside the global folder
Both the photon folder and the ldlib2 folder must be created inside the assets directory
The image below shows how the folder structure should look:
If the effects files are saved but not in the "assets" folder of your mod check the "ldlib" or "ldlib2" folder inside the "run" folder of your workspace (you should move the effects files from the "run" folder to the fold "assets"
This plugin supports English (US), English (UK),Portuguese (BR) And Portuguese(PT)

Tutorial Video 1.21.1 NeoForge Mcreator 2025.1, 2025.2 and 2025.3 there are few differences between using Photon 1.21.1 compared to 1.20.1 so this tutorial can help users of 1.20.1 one of the few differences is that importing textures/resources in 1.20.1 is easier

Comments
yeah this plugin was made to facilitate the removal and configuration of particles and i intend to try to make importing textures easier and have the files moved to the mods resources automatically but u are completely right its possible to summon the particles by command
Will there be a feature in the future to constantly rotate the particles
