A Minecraft add-on makes the mace smashing attack more dramatic via cutscene and particle effects.
⚠️ Please note: This add-on is intended to be used with the Simple or Fancy graphic setting. Vibrant Visuals resource packs (including default Vanilla Minecraft) may change the particle color. ⚠️
This add-on adds cutscene and particle effects for smashing an entity using the mace, through the /camera command and a particle effect ported from Unity.
It was done as a personal game jam to learn how particles work.
