CASTING VFX
>Light gathers into a glowing orb in front of the caster with a magic circle standing upright behind it; then a thirty-block energy beam tears straight forward at chest height, with shock rings racing down it, ends in an explosion at the far end, and thins out from the back. Electric blue and white.

WHAT IT GENERATES

Minecraft spell effects, drawn in the world.

A VFX plays where a player stands, facing the way they face, with its own sounds. No mods and no shaders to install: the server draws it out of sprites.

DescribeWatch itRefineCast
01

From a sentence

"A meteor shower that leaves glowing craters." Timing, sprites and sounds come back as one effect.

02

Ready-made presets

Void Slash, Frost Nova, Thunderstorm, Pillar of Light, Black Hole, Starfall, Sanctuary Bloom, Rift Eye, Tornado and Aegis Dome.

03

Change it by asking

"Make it blue", "twice as big", "add a shockwave at the end". There is nothing to keyframe.

04

Effects that loop

A loop section plays the build-up once, repeats the middle as long as you want, and fades when it stops.

05

Plays for everyone

Any player with your pack sees it, drawn in the world around the caster.

06

Cast it from anything

/rp cast from a command, at coordinates, on a loop, or from another plugin.

FAQ

Minecraft VFX questions.

What is a Minecraft VFX?

A spell or ability effect drawn in the world out of glowing sprites: a sword slash, a ring of ice spikes, a lightning storm, a black hole, or a shield that takes a hit and shatters.

What do I need on my server?

RP Engine 0.2.20 or newer, our free plugin, on a Minecraft 1.21.4 or newer server. There is nothing for players to install beyond your pack.

How do I play one in game?

Press Sync, then Play in game, or run /rp cast studio:<id>. /rp cast studio:<id> at <x> <y> <z> plays it at a place instead.

Can a plugin trigger it?

Yes. A server can play any VFX from another plugin, at coordinates, or on a loop, for a time, a number of times or until something happens.

Can I edit one?

You change a VFX by asking. Edit with AI takes "make it blue" or "add a shockwave at the end". There is no keyframe editor for them.

Does it work on Bedrock?

Not yet. A VFX needs Java Edition 1.21.4 or newer.

Who owns the VFX I generate?

You do. Everything made on your account is yours and we retain no ownership.
