Troubleshoot Missing or Dim Sword Trails

Sword trails may not appear or look faint due to several factors:

Missing dependencies: Verify EpicFight, EpicFight-Extra, and EpicFight-Nightfall are all present in your mods folder and enabled
Resource pack not active: Check that the Sword Trail Optimization Pack is selected and positioned above conflicting packs in your resource pack list
Graphics settings: Trails require Fancy graphics mode and Particles set to All or Good
Mod load order: Place EpicFight-related mods before other combat mods to prevent conflicts

1. Create a new world or use Creative mode to test without interference

2. Equip any sword and perform basic attacks

3. If trails still don't appear, remove other resource packs temporarily to rule out conflicts

4. Verify your GPU drivers are up to date, as advanced lighting effects depend on proper rendering support

5. Check the mod's issue tracker or community forums for reports matching your setup
