Custom Planets

Much like the Planets styleground, but allowing to make planets scroll and be animated. Multiple examples of custom planets directories can be found in the mod zip, in Graphics/Atlases/Gameplay/MaxHelpingHand/customplanets.

Custom Stars effect

Much like the vanilla Stars styleground, except you can use your own sprites for the stars.

Custom Starfield effect

Much like the vanilla Starfield styleground, except you can customize the stars' sprites, colors and alphas. You can define multiple sprite folders/colors/alphas, in which case one of them will be picked randomly or successively.

Snow with Custom Colors

This is the "snowBg" and "snowFg" effect, except you can customize the snow colors. You can also change the speed of the snowflakes.

Custom Black Hole

Just like the vanilla black hole effect, except you can change all the colors, and set the opacity of its components! You can also make it fade between different colors over time, and choose if it is affected by wind or not.

ℹ️ If you have multiple blackhole effects and want to change the strength of all of them, you can use the "Black Hole Strength (All Black Holes)" trigger provided with this helper.

Northern Lights with Custom Colors

Northern lights, but with customizable colors for the lights and background. You can also remove the gradient background and only keep the lights, or change the amount of strands (moving lines) and of falling particles.

Heat Wave not affecting color grade

Same as the vanilla Heat Wave effect, except it does not change the color grade, allowing you to set your own color grade instead.

All Side Tentacles

A version of the Tentacles effect that reacts to the player position when placed on the left or on the top of the screen (as opposed to only right and bottom like vanilla).
