About
Szombie’s Particle Effects is a resource pack that replaces Minecraft’s Sword Sweep and Critical Hit particles with more detailed effects intended to make sword hits feel more satisfying. The sword-sweep effects are 256×256 and the critical-hit effects are 128×128; the Lightning Swing and its critical-hit effect are 32×32. The pack was made to pair with custom-item resource packs, letting players choose effect colors to match their weapons, and the Sword Sweep effect activates only when hitting something with a sword equipped.

Security
Not checked yet
Its author does not let other sites download its files from CurseForge, so we cannot check them.
Why we show this: a resource pack cannot run programs, but its file can hide one. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.1 latest file, for a recent version. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. 1 of them is not checked yet. See each file in Releases
Privacy
Sends nothing
A resource pack has no code that can connect to the internet, so it cannot send anything about you.
AI
Made with AI: not checked yet
We have not looked for AI tools in it yet.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.Not on Modrinth.
- Description and changelogsThe description, project page and newest changelogs: sentences saying an AI tool was used, and text pasted from an AI chat.Nothing found in the descriptionChangelogs not read yet
