Sequencing

Vfx.at(level) builds a timeline of effects. Each call appends a step, delay spaces steps out, and parallel runs branches at once. It reads top to bottom and begins on the next tick when you call play.

Vfx.at(level)
        .dome(pos, 2.6f, 0x7A3DFF, 44)
        .delay(8)
        .beam(pos, pos.add(0, 4, 0))
        .shake(pos, 0.3f, 14)
        .play();

The timeline offers the same one-liners as Vfx (burst, beam, dome, shake, light), plus emit and effect for the builders:

Vfx.at(level)
        .emit(pos, Vfx.emitter().shape(ShapeSpec.sphere(0.5f)).count(200))
        .delay(20)
        .effect(pos, someEffect)
        .play();

Run branches at the same time with parallel; the timeline continues after the longest branch finishes:

Vfx.at(level)
        .parallel(
                branch -> branch.beam(from, to),
                branch -> branch.dome(pos, 2f, 0x33CCFF, 30))
        .play();

For anything the builders do not cover, run(Runnable) drops an arbitrary action into the timeline.
