# 3D Particles ## Added features in this pack: - Improved particle lighting. 3D particles use the same lighting as entities, meaning things like directional dimension lighting will apply to them properly (this applies to all versions _except_ 1.21.5 due to a bug in that version!) - More 3D particles!
