So I tried loading MC in with just fabric api, visuality, and cloth config but the mod still didn't work (as in there were no particles whatsoever, although everything in the mod was enabled).

There are no water splashes or mob particles or any of the mod's effects; it doesn't seem to be a mod conflict and I don't know how else to fix this.

make sure you have particles enabled in vanilla video settings

I am using sodium but can't find the option. Do I need an external mod for this?

This is on but it still doesn't work

Update: I got everything working except the water splashes. for some reason, those don't work

Some of the mod just eventually started working, but as mentioned, the water splashes and waterfall effects still don’t work, and I don’t know why or how to fix them.
