Avoiding semitransparency at spawn time in After Effects 2022

I have this composition with falling coins (screendump) using Particle World.

My problem is that each coin is semitransparent at spawn time.

Another post suggested to draw an opacity map, but apparently, this functionality has been removed or relocated in the 2022-version.

Any ideas?

Not much you can do. There are simply limitations to these simplistic particle effects that come with AE. if creating a lifecycle gradient doesn't fix it, then this is really a case of moving on to greener pastures and just byuy Stardust or Particular.

Thank you for your reply. I'll take a look at the suggested plug-ins - I use particle systems regularly, so they might be worth the money.
