Glowing Particle Footsteps

Minecraft developers have thought through many aspects of the game, but when it comes to certain effects, graphics, and visual design, there are some noticeable shortcomings. That is why various types of shaders, texture packs, and many other extensions appear, allowing players to change the graphics and achieve a high-quality visual experience in the game world in just a few clicks. At the same time, any of you can add specific mods to your modpack that expand the list of effects and further enhance the game’s visual component. We will talk about one of such mods in this article!

The GlowingFootsteps mod adds glowing particle trails to the game that change depending on the biome. It does not affect the player in any way and does not change their characteristics, but visually everything now looks much more colorful. The particle trail fully depends on the biome you are currently in. And if you feel that the vanilla world lacks certain effects, we recommend trying this mod. It is extremely well balanced and places almost no load on your PC, while still adding pleasant visual effects to the game, allowing you to slightly diversify your survival experience and improve the overall visual quality. If a player records videos for YouTube or streams from time to time, such mods will definitely attract the audience’s attention…

Are you ready to slightly expand the list of effects in the game and transform the graphics? Now, when walking on different surfaces and blocks, a specific glowing particle “trail” will appear behind the player, fully repeating their path and remaining visible for a few seconds. It can be compared to a footprint mechanic, but with particles instead. By default, the color depends on the biome you are currently in. For example, in jungles it will be green, in swamps dark green, in mushroom biomes purple, and on snow and ice blocks blue. There are many such variations here, depending on the terrain you are currently exploring.

The mod developer added a separate configuration file that allows detailed customization of the appearance based on your preferences. If you are not satisfied with the default colors, you can change them. The entire process is carried out in a special window, where you can set specific values for each biome. This is a convenient system that allows almost any player to quickly adjust the parameters and choose the colors they want to see in the game world. For example, you can make the trail the same for all biomes or add completely different colors depending on the biome or dimension. However, even the standard settings are more than enough to diversify the gameplay mechanics.

How to Use the New Effects from GlowingFootsteps?

By using this mod, you gain a wide range of advantages, namely:

· Colorful effects for videos. If you record YouTube videos or stream gameplay, these options help visually enhance the surrounding world and the overall graphics;

· Team assistance. If you play on the same server with other users, they will be able to see you even in the dark, as these particles glow and emit a small amount of light;

· Flexible customization. If you do not like this visual style and want to change it, or if you are simply tired of such effects, the configuration file allows the player to disable everything in just a few clicks and continue playing with the standard set of options;

· Biome identification. For example, when you move quickly through different biomes automatically while holding a key, the moment the particle color changes, it becomes clear that you have entered a new biome. There is no need to open the map or press F3 to get detailed information.

The capabilities of this mod are not very extensive, but even small effects and improvements help you enjoy the gameplay more. We recommend trying this mod to experience new sensations and get the most out of the added visual effects. The modification works correctly on most versions and does not put a heavy load on your computer. You do not need to install bulky shaders or configure complex settings, even if you have a weak PC. Everything here is done in just a few clicks, and after your very first step, you will immediately see all the changes.

As a result, this is an interesting and unusual mod released this year. It does not have many downloads yet and is available exclusively for the Forge loader, but there is hope that the developer will actively support the project and add new types of animations and effects. Even now, there is a certain set of settings where each player can customize particles in all available biomes according to their individual preferences. Isn’t that cool?
