ParticleFX

Build the plugin or download the compiled jar. 2. Put the jar into the server `plugins/` folder. 3. Start the server. 4. Edit `plugins/ParticleFX/config.yml` if you want to change global presets or default bindings. 5. Use `/particlefx reload` after config changes. ## Build This project uses Gradle. ```powershell .\gradlew.bat build ``` The compiled jar will be generated in: `build/libs/ParticleFX-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar` ## Notes - The plugin targets Paper `1.21` - Player-created data is stored automatically per UUID - Some `Sound` lookups use Paper's deprecated compatibility API, but the plugin builds and works correctly on the current target version
