How to Use AAA Particles Mod on a Server (Client-Side Setup)

The Key Fact

AAA Particles Mod is client-side only. That means you install it in your own game and it changes what you see; the server does not need the mod, and other players without it are unaffected. This makes it safe to use on most servers that allow client-side visual mods, but you should still check the server's rules, since some communities restrict any client modifications.

Setting It Up for Multiplayer

1. Install the mod on your client only, alongside its required dependencies.

2. Join the server normally — no server-side files are needed.

3.

4. If you use a custom Effekseer effect, keep it in your own resource pack so it applies on every server you join.

What Other Players See

Other players see vanilla lightning (or their own modded version) unless they also run the mod with the same effect. Your custom effects are not synced to the server or to others. If a server uses a plugin that alters lightning behavior, your visual effect still plays on your client when lightning occurs, but the underlying strike mechanics are controlled by the server.
