Effects

The Effects system in the InfiniteCrops plugin adds immersive visual and auditory effects for various gameplay features such as abilities, crop growth, harvesting, and more. This guide explains how to configure and customize the effects.yml file to tailor the experience to your needs.

File Structure

The effects.yml file consists of sections that control specific effects. Each effect can include:

1. Particle Effects: Visual animations like smoke or sparkles.

2. Sound Effects: Auditory feedback like splashes or item collection sounds.

3. Enable/Disable Toggles: Boolean options to enable or disable effects.

Key Sections

1. Abilities

• Controls the visual effects for abilities like currency increasers, fortune increasers, etc.

• Example:

  ability_particles: true
  ability_particle_currency_increaser: CRIT_MAGIC
  ability_particle_currency_increaser_times: 5

  • ability_particles: Enables or disables ability particles globally.

  • ability_particle_currency_increaser: Particle effect used for the currency increaser ability.

  • ability_particle_currency_increaser_times: Number of particles spawned per effect.

---

2. Crops

• Manages growth, harvesting, and drying effects for crops.

• Example:

  crop_growth_particles: true
  crop_stage_last_stage: TOTEM
  crop_stage_last_stage_times: 5
  crop_harvest_particle: HEART
  crop_harvest_particle_times: 3

  • crop_growth_particles: Toggles particle effects for crop growth.

  • crop_stage_last_stage: Particle effect displayed when the crop reaches its final stage.

  • crop_harvest_particle: Particle effect displayed during harvest.

---

3. Bushes

• Similar to crops, but specific to bushes.

• Example:

  bush_growth_particles: true
  bush_stage_last_stage: TOTEM
  bush_stage_last_stage_times: 5
  bush_harvest_particle: HEART
  bush_harvest_particle_times: 3

---

4. Combustion Generators

• Configures effects for combustion generators.

• Example:

  combustion_particles: true
  combustion_particle_smoke: CAMPFIRE_COSY_SMOKE
  combustion_particle_smoke_times: 2

---

5. Fertilizers

• Visualizes fertilizer application effects.

• Example:

  fertilizer_particles: true
  fertilizer_particle_quality_increaser: ELECTRIC_SPARK
  fertilizer_particle_quality_increaser_times: 5

---

6. Watering

• Configures effects for watering crops using cans or sprinklers.

• Example:

  can_watering_enabled: true
  can_watering_particles: FALLING_DRIPSTONE_WATER
  can_watering_particles_times: 5
  sprinkler_enabled: true
  sprinkler_watering_particles: FALLING_DRIPSTONE_WATER
  sprinkler_watering_particles_times: 3

How to Customize Effects

1. Enable or Disable Effects:

   • Use boolean toggles (e.g., true or false) to activate or deactivate specific effects.

2. Change Particle Types:

   • Replace particle names with desired effects from the Minecraft particle list. Examples include CAMPFIRE_COSY_SMOKE, HEART, DRAGON_BREATH.

3. Adjust Particle Intensity:

   • Modify the _times values to control the number of particles spawned.

4. Configure Sounds:

   • Define sounds using the format: <sound_name>;<volume>;<pitch>.

   • Example:

     can_fill_sound: ITEM_BUCKET_FILL;1;1
