Overview
Visual Effects+ is a lightweight resource pack that focuses on cleaning up Minecraft's environmental visuals. It adds better animations and more detailed particles without changing the actual art style of the game.
Features
- Animated grass, flowers, and leaves for a more natural look.
- Better transition overlays for grass, sand, and stone blocks to remove harsh grid lines.
- Smaller, less intrusive particle effects for smoke and explosions.
- Subtle wind effects for crops and hanging vines.
- Optimized fire and lava animations that don't block as much of the screen.
- Updated water splashes and rain ripples for better weather clarity.
Resolution and Performance
This is a 16x resolution pack, so it fits in perfectly with the default textures. Since it mostly adds animations and tweaks existing overlays, you shouldn't see any noticeable drop in your frame rate. It runs fine on low-end hardware.
Compatibility
The pack is designed for version 1.20 and up, though it should work on most modern versions of the game. For the moving leaf and grass animations to work properly, you don't necessarily need shaders, but it is compatible with most shader packs and Iris/OptiFine.
