MagicParallax - Plugin for RPG MAKER MZ
A downloadable tool
MagicParallax.js
A flexible, fully‑customizable parallax‑layer system for RPG Maker MZ. Enrich every map with atmospheric fog, drifting clouds, HUD vignettes, or any other multi‑layer effect—without touching the engine’s single‑parallax limit. Also excellent to draw parallax-water with region IDs.
Key Features
Unlimited Parallax Layers
-Stack any number of images on the same map—background, mid‑ground, or HUD overlay.
Fractional Auto‑Scroll
-Give each layer smooth, sub‑pixel X / Y movement. Great for drifting mist, rolling clouds, or fast star‑fields.
Screen‑Lock / Map‑Lock Toggle
-Choose whether a layer sticks to the camera (perfect for vignettes and UI flourishes) or moves with the map.
Region & Terrain Masks
Region ID support to draw only on set tiles.
Blend Modes & Per‑Layer Opacity
Normal / Add / Multiply / Screen plus individual opacity lets you fine‑tune compositing.
Performance Friendly
-Very Lightweight in performance impact compared to "other plugins" (+30 fps difference in my game on big maps).

While this plugin is built for MZ, do you think MV would also support this in some way? This plugin could be the fix for my problem I am having in MV.
I need to buy RPG Maker MV so ican examine and test it.
Although some code adjustments will be necessary, it should function in MV.
I'll be getting it in the near future because I want to bring my other plugins over to MV, too.
