EclipseFX
A cinematic RPG aura & visual effects engine for Minecraft. by ArcalithStudios
EclipseFX is not "just a particle plugin." It's a layered, in-game aura identity engine built for MMORPG, anime, fantasy, cultivation, dungeon, class-based, magic and progression servers. Players equip magical auras, anime power effects, cultivation rings, spell circles, combat trails, wings, orbitals, halos, ground runes and awakening bursts — each built from stacked, trigger-driven visual layers that server owners can create, edit, preview, import and export entirely in-game, no coding required.
✨ Features
- Layered aura engine — every aura is a stack of independent layers (ground rune + orbitals
- idle flare + awakening pulse) instead of a single canned effect.
- 20 original preset auras — Void Monarch, Heavenly Ascension, Demon King Pressure, Dragon Soul, Thunder Breathing, Celestial Wings, Time Fracture and more.
- 30 shape primitives — rings, spirals, helixes, halos, orbitals, wings, ground runes, spheres, domes, blade orbits, dragon coils, soul chains, constellations, floating glyphs…
- 12 animations & 6 colour modes — rotate, pulse, rise, orbit, expand, spiral, gradient, ✨, transition and more.
- Trigger system — layers react to idle, walking, sprinting, sneaking, jumping, damage, kills, mining, low health and other states.
- Anime awakening cinematics — title, layered sounds, an inward particle build-up and an expanding shockwave, then the aura equips. Never damaging by default.
- In-game aura editor — tweak every layer value (shape, particle, colour, motion, trigger, performance) with click-to-edit controls.
- RPG class aura groups — resolve a player's class via permission, PlaceholderAPI or manual assignment, and show class-specific auras.
- Live previews, favorites & per-player visibility toggles.
- Performance-first — per-player and global particle budgets, TPS-aware density scaling, per-world disabling, and a live performance dashboard.
