| Fabric | 26.3 | 26.3, 26.2, 26.1.2 and 24 more (oldest: 1.19) |

Does it go on the server or on players' games?
Particle Rain is a client-only mod: it doesn't run on the server. Each player installs it in their own Minecraft if they want it. Add it in the panel as "Players only" and it ships inside everyone's modpack.
| Where | Per Modrinth |
|---|---|
| Server | not supported |
| Players | required |
| What the panel suggests | Players only |
What other mods it needs
None: its latest version doesn't require any other mods on Modrinth.
How to add Particle Rain to your server
- Open the panel and create a world with a compatible loader and Minecraft version (Fabric, NeoForge and Forge, per the table above), or open one you already have.
- In the world's "Mods" section, search for Particle Rain in the Modrinth catalog. You'll only see what works with your world.
- Add it with the "Players only" option, the one the panel suggests for this mod.
- Start or restart the server so it installs.
- Ask your friends to download the .mrpack modpack from the panel again.
