Fancy Block Particles Renewed Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I open the fancy block particles settings?
Open the mod's config screen from the in-game mod list or the settings menu, where you'll find toggles for each particle category. Changes usually apply immediately, but some may need a world reload.
How do I turn off 3d block breaking particles?
In the config, find the block breaking particle category and disable it. The mod will fall back to vanilla particles for that effect instead of removing them entirely.
Does fancy block particles work on servers?
Yes, it's client-side only, so you can use it on any server without the server needing the mod. Other players won't see your 3D particles, only you will.
Is fancy block particles safe to use in a modpack?
Yes, it's designed to be modpack-friendly and client-side, so it won't conflict with server-side mods. Just make sure it's only installed on the client side.
Why is fancy block particles causing lag?
The 3D particles are more demanding than vanilla ones, especially during rain, snow, or heavy block breaking. Lower the particle density or disable the heaviest categories in the config to reduce the load.
How do I make rain and snow particles look better?
Adjust the rain and snow settings in the config to change particle size, lifetime, and how long they stay on the ground. Turning up the detail on snow particles gives the most noticeable visual improvement.
Can I disable just one type of particle without removing the mod?
Yes, the config lets you toggle individual particle categories on or off. Disabled categories revert to vanilla particles rather than disappearing.
Why are my particles still vanilla after enabling the mod?
Check that the specific particle category is enabled in the config, since some may be off by default. Also confirm the mod is actually loaded on your client, not just present in the folder.
Does fancy block particles change block placing animations?
Yes, it adds enhanced 3D animations when placing blocks, in addition to breaking, rain, and snow effects. You can toggle the placing animation separately in the config.
How do I reset fancy block particles to default settings?
Delete or rename the mod's config file and restart the game, which regenerates it with default values. Alternatively, use the reset option in the config screen if available.
