I've tried the mod and I love being able to use this effect in previous versions. I would ask you to change the effect icon to the original one. I don't know if it was hard for you to make, but there's another similar mod that adds the same effect with magma cubes. It would be cool if you could do that too. I don't think it would be much more difficult than changing a couple of parameters since you already have this one made.
Changing the original texture will not happen, but a resource pack can be used to use the vanilla texture.
Adding the same effect for magma cubes however is something that I am open to.
