# | DESCRIPTION |
\nAdds a server-side particle trail to falling blocks such as sand, gravel, anvils, dripstone, and concrete powder. Supports every falling block type, including blocks that don’t normally fall. Can help determine the location of a gravity block in cases such as using a dripstone cannon when practicing in singleplayer, where the dripstone moves very quickly and is easy to miss.<\/p>\n

# | VERSIONS |
\nCurrently supports Minecraft Java “`1.21.5“`. Other versions are untested and may not work.<\/p>\n

# | COMPATIBILITY AND PERFORMANCE |
\nIncompatible with packs using the same file names. May cause lag in cases with large amounts of falling blocks near the player, or with low memory available, due to the use of function macros applied to all falling blocks every tick. For this reason, it is not recommended to use it in cases such as a superflat world of only gravity blocks. Particles will only be visible within 20 blocks of the player.<\/p>\n
