#performance, and higher modes cost more.
#  0 = off (no stream particles at all).
#  1 = static: bubbles appear on the surface and fade in place -- cheapest; they don't drift, so
#      they never strand in mid-air over a drop.
#  2 = pathed: bubbles flow downstream AND follow the water down drops/waterfalls (default). Most
#      realistic but the priciest -- it samples the world each tick. Turn down to 1 or 0 if big
#      rivers hitch.

#Hard cap on how many stream particles (bubbles + whitewater foam/spray) may spawn PER TICK,
#across all stream water near you -- a safety valve so heavy rivers and big waterfalls can't
#spin up an unbounded number of particles on lower-end machines. Once the cap is hit, further
#stream blocks skip their particles until the next tick. The default is high enough that normal
#play never reaches it; lower it if you're chasing frames.

#How far out (in blocks) a CLIENT-side scanner hunts for waterfalls to spray, BEYOND vanilla's
#~16-block ambient-particle range. Vanilla only animates blocks right next to you, so distant
#waterfalls are silent/dry; this scanner finds their feet and throws whitewater there too.
#It uses distance LOD to stay cheap: the further a waterfall, the FEWER but LARGER particles it
#fires (particle area scales with distance, count scales inversely), so a far fall reads the same
#but costs a fraction of the particles.
#  0 = off (only vanilla's near range sprays).  Higher = waterfalls spray from further away (pricier).

#fewer of them, so a waterfall throws the same total amount of spray whatever you set here -- the
