From Brotato Wiki
This page documents the various effects in the vanilla game. Modders can apply these effects to their custom content.
This table doesn't fully explain how to use these effects. Please view their items/characters/weapons for usage.
The headings separate the files by their location, but effects can often be applied to things outside of that heading, eg. my effects in res://effects/items/*.gd are applied to characters too.
Item Effects
Despite the heading, these effects can actually be used by characters and weapons too. They're just stored in effects/items.
