Plasma `<mv-plasma>`

So funktioniert es

WebGL-Hintergrund aus magnetisiertem Plasma: Einige langsame Magnetpole wandern durch das Bild, und ihre Feldlinien leuchten als dünne Filamente, Bögen, die einen Pol verlassen und auf einem anderen landen, gekräuselt von einer leichten iterierten Turbulenz. Stromperlen laufen an den Bögen entlang, die von einem Ende zum anderen drei Farben durchlaufen. Der Zeiger trägt einen kleinen Magneten, zu dem sich die nahen Filamente hinbiegen. Gezeichnet auf dem Theme-Hintergrund: Tinte auf Papier im hellen Theme, leuchtende Linien im dunklen.

When to use

A science, energy, AI or developer product wants a living hero backdrop that reads as precise rather than psychedelic
A launch or event page should answer the pointer with a visible but calm effect, in light and dark themes alike
A dark section needs glowing linework in the brand colors that leaves most of the frame quiet for a headline

Avoid when

Soft, flowing brand color fills the frame with no lines at all → use Mesh Gradient instead
Long body copy sits on top; the filaments cross behind it and hurt readability beyond short headlines

<mv-plasma data-fill></mv-plasma>
<div style="position:relative;display:grid;place-items:center;height:100%;min-height:320px;padding:2rem 1rem;box-sizing:border-box;text-align:center;pointer-events:none">

API

Attributes

Name	Typ	Default	Description
`colors`	CSS colors (3)	`var(--mv-accent), color-mix(in oklch, var(--mv-accent) 30%, var(--mv-fg-muted)), a hue 75 degrees before the accent`	Colors along each arc: at the positive poles, midway, at the negative poles. Tokens accepted, read again on theme change. The default third color follows --mv-accent-h and gets lighter in a dark theme.
`scale`	number	`1`	Size of the field (0.25 to 4): larger means fewer poles, longer arcs and a broader ripple.
`turbulence`	number	`1`	Strength of the ripple on the filaments, 0 to 3 (0 = clean field lines).
`intensity`	number	`1`	Filament and glow brightness, 0 to 3.
`density`	number	`1`	Number of filaments per pole (0.3 to 3, 1 = twelve).
`speed`	number	`1`	Time multiplier.
`paused`	boolean		Freezes the field on the current frame.
`interactive`	boolean		Follows the pointer only over the element (otherwise across the whole window).
`dpr`	number	`1.5`	Max pixel density (capped at 2).
`data-fill`	boolean		Fills the positioned parent (absolute, inset 0).

Events

Name	Description
`mv-error`	Inherited from `<mv-shader>`: the GLSL failed to compile. The element gets data-error and shows its fallback.

Content structure

Name	Description
`children`	Content placed inside the element sits above the canvas.

Accessibility

Decorative: the canvas is aria-hidden and never takes pointer events; content placed inside stays in the normal reading order. The loop stops off screen and in hidden tabs, and no WebGL context is created until the element comes near the viewport. Reduced motion (OS or <html data-motion="reduce">) and paused keep one still frame, with no pointer response. Forced colors and print hide the canvas; without WebGL2 a static sketch in the theme tokens is shown. The frame stays mostly the page background, but filaments can cross behind text: keep a headline short or give it a halo or panel in the background color.
