✨ Visual Particles & Alarm Densities

1. Guard Alarm Particles (guardParticleDensity)

Guarding wolves emit subtle visual alarm particles indicating their active sentinel post:

• Modes: off, low, medium (default), high.
• Configuration: Set in client GUI or config/betterdogs.json.

2. Runt Particles (bd_show_runt_particles)

• Behavior: If enabled (/gamerule betterdogs:bd_show_runt_particles true), tamed inbred runt wolves emit tiny rotten flesh particles to help players identify linebreeding penalties visually.
