Making Status Effect Particles More Visible for Recording and Streaming
Tune your particle settings first
This mod is purely visual, so its output is controlled by vanilla particle settings. Open Options > Video Settings > Particles and set it to All so no custom textures are culled. On the lowest setting many effects will not render at all, which defeats the purpose of the mod.
Improve capture quality
- Increase your render distance so particles are not clipped near the camera.
- Reduce motion blur and heavy shaders if they smear the small textures.
- If you use a shader pack, test it with each effect active. Some packs recolour or bloom particles, which can wash out the distinct textures.
Frame the shot
For a clean showcase, stand against a plain background such as a flat wall or open sky. Apply one effect at a time using potions or commands, then record a short clip of each. Keep the camera at eye level so the particles rise through frame naturally.
Multiplayer note
Because the mod is client-side only, your viewers and teammates do not need it installed. Your recording will show the custom particles even on a vanilla server, so you can capture footage anywhere without asking for server changes.
