🏹✨ Projectile Trails+ | Shoot It. Style It. Watch It Fly.
Tired of shooting arrows in Minecraft and watching them fly through the air like the most boring objects ever created?
You pull back your bow.
You line up the perfect shot.
You release.
And your arrow flies through the air with absolutely ZERO personality.
BRO WHERE ARE THE SPECIAL EFFECTS?
Projectile Trails+ is a client-side Minecraft mod that lets you customize the visual trails behind arrows, tridents, snowballs, eggs, splash potions, and ender pearls.
Whether you're a sweaty PvPer who wants glowing arrows or someone who thinks throwing an egg should look like a nuclear launch, we've got you covered.
BECAUSE APPARENTLY NORMAL PROJECTILES AREN'T DRAMATIC ENOUGH.
🏹 The "MAKE EVERYTHING LOOK COOLER" System
Why should arrows get all the attention?
Projectile Trails+ supports six different projectile types, each with its own customizable visual effects.
-
🏹 Arrows: Turn regular bow shots into glowing streaks of destruction.
-
🔱 Tridents: Make your trident look like it was personally delivered by Poseidon.
-
❄️ Snowballs: Add colorful effects to the most disrespectful projectile in Minecraft.
-
🥚 Eggs: Give your eggs visual effects because apparently throwing chickens wasn't entertaining enough.
-
🧪 Splash Potions: Turn ordinary potion throws into flying chemistry experiments.
-
🟣 Ender Pearls: Teleport in style with custom trails following your pearls.
Each projectile type has its own settings, meaning your arrows don't have to look anything like your ender pearls.
Want flaming arrows?
Done.
Want rainbow ender pearls?
Absolutely.
Want to throw a snowball that looks like it contains the power of Zeus himself?
