Do you want to create cool particle effects such as cones, cubes, spheres, and vortices but don't know how? Well, then this mod is for you! It is mainly a developer utility, but as a player you can play around with the commands, especially to try out the effects before implementing them with code. It is also fully serverside, meaning you won't need it on the client. It is inspirerd by the (https://github.com/elBukkit/EffectLib) plugin as you may have guessed.

Currently available effects: - Animated Sphere, Sphere, Cuboid, Vortex, Cone, Donut - Arc, Line, Animated Circle, Colored and BW Images, Text

At present time this mod is in beta, meaning that stuff could still break or change a bit. And some effects are still missing A forge/neoforge version may come in the future, but I first want to get the fabric/quilt all done before starting the port. Sorry! (It most likely will work with Syntra connector for the time being)

## How to use this mod This mod on its own, is only intended for developers. But don't worry, if you are a player and still want to try out all of the amazing effects (albeit with some limitations currently) you can do so by install (https://modrinth.com/mod/particleanimationlibcommands).

Yes, I know, the commands are a bit long and confusing, that's why I've also started working on a wiki, that you can find (https://emafire003.gitbook.io/particleanimationlibwiki/commands)!

## How to create the effects? All of the effects are in the `effects` package and you can create a new effect simply by creating a new effect object or you can use their builder method, kinda like the Block properties.

Then you can use your preferred flavour of `#run()` method to activate the effect: ```java //Constructor pseudocode with runFor example Effect effect = new Effect(ServerWorld world, ParticleEffect effect, Vec3d originPos, int particles, Other stuff...) effect.runFor(5);

//Builder pseudocode with run and setIterations example (20 ticks = 1 second) Effect effect = Effect.builder(ServerWorld world, ParticleEffect effect, Vec3d originPos).particles(10).anotherOption(true).build; effect.setIterations(520); effect.run(); ```
