Preview shows Sakura Bloom enabled for a Region

Sakura bloom particles with top-down and orbit modes, rotation, synchronized direction, and persistent background accumulation.

Ambient effects add visible movement without replacing the full weather setup. Use them on their own or layer them with another particle or filter.

Airborne petals and accumulation

Within an enabled Sakura Bloom effect, directional or Top Down petals and optional Background accumulation are configured separately. Disabling Sakura Bloom disables both layers. Choose Top Down before adjusting Rotation Strength, Direction, Scale, Speed, and Density.

Background petals

Background adds persistent coverage with immediate or timed fill, opacity, coverage, variation, pile amount, pile size, and a separate Ground Particle Size.

Token trails

Token Trails disturbs the accumulated petals. Trail Width, Trail Strength, and Trail Swirl define the path, Trail Lift Chance returns some petals to the airborne layer, and the settle controls determine how the surface returns.

Important controls

• Top Down: Switches Sakura Bloom to the overhead presentation intended for top-down maps. This changes particle projection and movement, so set it before finalizing scale and direction.
• Rotation Strength: Controls how strongly sakura bloom particles rotate while moving. Higher values produce more visible turning and spin.
• Direction: Sets the primary travel direction for sakura bloom particles. Directional Spread can add variation around this angle.
• Background: Render a persistent field of settled particles behind the active effect. The field follows the same stack placement, scene or Region mask, Levels selection, and below-token/tile settings.
• Token Trails: Allows moving tokens to disturb the persistent background and leave visible trails through it.

Setup notes

• Top Down controls the airborne presentation, while Background and Token Trails control accumulated petals.
• Tune Ground Particle Size separately from the airborne Scale.

Direct-effect API example

The Direct Effect API creates a separate row shown through Manage API Effects. Add a stable apiMacro_…_p or apiMacro_…_f ID when later macro calls need to update or stop the same row.

const created = await FXMASTER.api.effects.play({
  particles: [{
    "id": "apiMacro_wikisakurabloom_p",
    "type": "sakurabloom",
    "options": {
      "belowTokens": false,
      "tint": {
        "value": "#FFFFFF",
        "apply": false
      },
      "topDown": false,
      "orbit": false,
      "scale": 0.15
    }
  }],
});

await FXMASTER.api.effects.particles.stop(created.particles);
