Light Dust

Major Features

Dust Glinting: Dust particles will now subtly glint when you get close to them. In dark environments, if there is a nearby light source, the dust closest to you will softly illuminate and fade back into the darkness as it drifts away.

Thermal Updrafts: Dust now reacts to heat. Particles will catch thermal updrafts and swirl upwards when passing over heat sources.

• Define any vanilla or modded block as a heat source using the heatBlocks list in the config. Format: modid:block_name=speed,reach,radius.
  
  

Shockwaves: Particles now react to loud noises. Explosions or a Warden's roar will send anshockwave through the air, pushing ambient dust away from the sound source.

Heavy Landings: Falling 3 or more blocks will now kick up a ring of dust from the ground upon impact.

• The visual blast scales with your exact fall distance, pushing dust faster and further the higher you drop.
  
  
• Impacts create a shockwave that pushes preexisting ambient dust away from the landing zone.
  
  
• new config options (heavyLandingUpwardSpeed, heavyLandingOutwardSpeed, heavyLandingAmbientPush, and heavyLandingAmbientRadius).
  
  

Minor Features

Depth Density: Dust density scales and increases as you descend past Y=0 down to bedrock.

Performance

Replaced heavy square root calculations with squared horizontal speed checks for player interaction calculations, saving CPU cycles when the player is standing still.
