| - | The **Effect Editor** allows you to create visual [[effect|particle effects]] for your game, like fire, rain, snow, fountains, sparks, and so much more! While the large number of settings may seem intimidating at first, creating effects is quite simple! The table below contains a list of properties that can be changed for an [[effect]] and a brief description of each one. While this table can be helpful to generally understand all of the available settings, it's recommended to try them out yourself in the Effect Editor. | + | The **Effect Editor** allows you to create visual [[effect|particle effects]] for your game, like fire, rain, snow, fountains, sparks, and so much more!
