Illuminate the night with breathtaking ambient particle effects
Aurora provides a unique experience for all players by generating dynamic ambient particle effects using a high-performance particle engine. All particles are fully configurable and can be customised per-biome to fit each server's needs. The base plugin comes with multiple high-quality default configs covering all particle shapes Aurora has to offer, available for almost all vanilla biomes.
Pre-Java 16 version (1.8-1.16.5)
- Highly configurable
Over 50+ particle types- 7 unique particle shapes
Point Line Cube Ring Circle Wave All shape parameters (size, height, ...) can be modified Combine multiple particle groups in a single biome- No setup required
Base plugin comes with 40+ unique particle configs Available for almost all vanilla biomes Simply drag & drop the plugin to get started- Cross-version compatibility
Supports all Spigot versions from 1.9 - 1.17. Incompatible biomes & particles will automatically be disabled instead of breaking the plugin- Full custom biome support
Use Aurora with your favourite custom terrain generators All datapacks which inject custom biomes are also fully compatible- WorldGuard per-region support
Set particles based on WorldGuard regions instead of using biomes Perfect for Lobby or RPG servers- Per-player toggle & permission support
Allow players with low-end setups to disable Aurora's ambient particles client-side via a command Permission nodes to make ambient particles only available to donators- View per-biome & global particle stats
Easily find enabled particles in a particular biome or region for faster navigation and configuration Toggle globally enabled particles with the use of a command- Extensive developer API
Give your own developers the ability to hook into Aurora's API Create stunning custom particle shapes and designs- High-performance with async code
Aurora can utilise multiple cores for intensive particle-management tasks- One of a kind
The first-ever public plugin on SpigotMC to introduce ambient particle effects Enhance your server experience like never before

// Wiki: https://github.com/OpticFusion1/Aurora/wiki/Particle-Configuration
// This is a generic example particle config which can be used for ALL particle types
// Note that some values in "properties" will be ignored depending on the shape in "particle.particleType"
// It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to use the templates provided in the link above instead to make your configs more readable
// Usage: Before using this default config, remove all comments (//...) and rename the file extension to .json
