About the plugin

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

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 called resources and inside it, a folder called global (ldlib2/resources/global/)
  • Another folder called photon and inside it a folder called fx (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)

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR MCREATOR 2025.1,2024.3 AND 2024.4 USERS: 
This plugin modifies the NeoForge version used in this versions of Mcreator so that the plugin can function the version has been changed to 21.1.151 this change in most cases does not cause problems but to prevent errors as much as possible I have modified the NeoForge version as little as possible

If you want to use Forge in MCreator 2025.2 download the modified version of the generator from 1.20.1 this generator was created by _Spectrall all credits to him I only fixed the bug with the extra mixins I ll leave the link to his original plugin below

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

Will there be a feature in the future to constantly rotate the particles

im not quite sure why you would need this, considering you can just spawn photon particles with commands.

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

Hi, where do we place the resources folder when we have .nbt files, its usualy in resources/assets/ldlib, but the plugin doesn't seems to read it!

To change the texture of the effect u need to change the material texture this is done in the renderer settings within the effect's configuration i ll show in the video how the basics work

Im going to record the 1.21.1 tutorial now but it ll still take a while to release the video because Im going to edit it
