Illuminate the night with breathtaking ambient particle effects
Aurora provides a unique experience for all players by generating dynamic ambient particle effects using a high-performance particle engine. All particles are fully configurable and can be customized per-biome to fit each server's needs. The base plugin comes with multiple high-quality default configs covering all particle shapes Aurora has to offer, available for almost all vanilla biomes.
Dependencies: LightAPI and RTUBiomeLib
A list of Frequently Asked Questions can be found here FAQ.
Due to the nature of MC code, there is a set of Minimum Server Specifications. You can also try this Optimize Performance to improve performance server side or Phosphor to improve lighting client sided

Code:
// Wiki: https://github.com/OpticFusion1/Aurora-Wiki/wiki/Particle-Configuration
// This is a generic example particle config which can be used for ALL particle types
// Note that some values in "properties" will be ignored depending on the shape in "particle.particleType"
// It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to use the templates provided in the link above instead to make your configs more readable
// Usage: Before using this default config, remove all comments (//...) and rename the file extension to .json
