Determining If Your Server Needs Effect Lib Plugin
Checking Server Requirements
Effect Lib Plugin is not a standalone gameplay pack that introduces direct items, crafting recipes, or player-facing blocks. Instead, it serves entirely as a background building block for other server additions. You only need to add this package to your server setup if another tool or feature explicitly asks for it in order to run properly.
If you play strictly in singleplayer without extra server tools that request it, or if none of your installed additions mention needing an animation library, you do not need this installed. It is strictly a shared resource that provides ready-to-use visuals for other systems.
Where the Library Operates
This tool operates strictly on the server side to handle animations, flying colors, and particle events behind the scenes.
- Client Side: Players joining the server do not need to install anything special on their local game client to see the effects. Vanilla particle settings handle the rendering.
- Server Side: The library resides among your server additions, activating only when another addition calls upon its collection of visual animations.
