KillFX v1.10.0 — Real lightning & a Critical Hits tab
v1.10.0LatestJun 2026

Real lightning & a Critical Hits tab

Lightning now spawns a real bolt, and the crit-particle replacer moved into its own tab.

  • Real client-side minecraft:lightning_bolt at the kill spot — same flash + thunder as /summon, no fire or damage.
  • Critical Hits is now a top-level tab next to General and Presets, with Setup / Appearance / Motion / Texture sub-tabs.
  • Particle colours actually apply now — pick a colour and the burst recolours.
  • Quieter console (diagnostic logs moved to debug level).

  • Preset tab shows the active preset with Apply, Rename, and a Customize-preset screen.
