Important Notes

Some particle effects have unique animations, long natural decay times, or behavior controlled by Hytale's engine. Certain effects may continue fading after their emission timer ends.

Effects with unknown duration metadata use a safety-limited preview. Druid FX Lab does not modify the original particle assets.

Made for Creators

Druid FX Lab was originally developed to help design and improve visual abilities for Druid Forms, but has grown into an independent tool for the entire Hytale community.
