Particle Effects

particle-effects:
  duration: 30  # How long particles are displayed (seconds)

  # Pillar particles above villager location
  pillar:
    enabled: true
    interval: 1
    particles:
      - type: "HAPPY_VILLAGER"
        height: 20
        count: 10
      - type: "END_ROD"
        height: 20
        count: 5

  # Path particles between player and villager
  path:
    enabled: true
    use-pathfinding: true  # false = straight line (lower server load)
    update-interval: 0.1
    particles:
      - type: "END_ROD"
        count: 1
        offset-x: 0.5
        offset-y: 0.5
        offset-z: 0.5
        randomness-x: 0.0
        randomness-y: 0.0
        randomness-z: 0.0
        speed: 0.0

Pathfinding

The plugin uses A* pathfinding to show realistic walkable paths. This runs asynchronously and has minimal server impact. If you experience performance issues, set use-pathfinding: false to use simple straight-line visualization.
