TaCZ Tracers & Flash

Adds dynamic muzzle flashes and illuminated tracer rounds to Timeless and Classics Zero.

TaCZ Tracers & Flash adds lighting effects to gunfire using Lambent. Every shot produces a brief muzzle flash, while tracer rounds leave illuminated streaks that light up nearby surfaces as they travel.

Features

• Muzzle Flashes - Every gunshot produces a short burst of warm light in front of the muzzle. Suppressors reduce its brightness.
• Illuminated Tracers - Tracer rounds leave a streak of light along their flight path, illuminating nearby floors and walls.
• Colored Tracer Rounds - Includes 15 dye-colored tracer rounds, along with standard rounds that use the gun's own tracer color.
• Impact Flashes - Tracers produce a flash when they hit a block or mob.
• Shadow Casting - Blocks and other geometry can cast shadows from muzzle flashes and tracer lights.
• Configurable Lighting - Adjust flash color, brightness, duration, tracer length, light distance, haze, and other lighting settings.

Tracer Rounds

Tracer rounds are loaded into a new slot on the TaCZ refit screen, alongside the existing gun attachments.

Plain tracer rounds use the gun's configured TaCZ tracer color. Colored rounds let you choose a different color using dyes. Loading or unloading rounds consumes or returns the corresponding items.

Guns without the tracer upgrade continue using TaCZ's normal tracer rendering. They do not receive the additional tracer lighting. Muzzle flashes work regardless of whether a gun has tracer rounds installed.

Performance

All lighting is handled by Lambent on the client. TaCZ Tracers & Flash does not place light blocks or trigger chunk rebuilds.

Tracer paths are simulated from bullet movement rather than relying on bullet entities remaining loaded. This keeps tracer lighting working even when TaCZ removes bullets before they can be rendered.

Lighting is also limited and prioritized to avoid excessive overlapping lights during firefights.
