Particles Effect

Source Code

effect: particles

Description:

Plays a particle effect.

Configuration:

Since 4.0 Beta 13 these options support dynamic values through numeric or string expressions.

Option	Description	Type	Default
particle-name	The name of the particle that is displayed.	String
count	The number of particles that are displayed in the effect.	Integer	5
radius	Since 4.0 Beta 13. Particles are only shown to players in that radius.	Integer	50
speed	The speed of the particle	Double	0.2
horiz-spread	Defines how much the particle is spread horizontally.	Double	0.2
vert-spread	Defines how much the particle is spread vertically.	Double	0.2
x-spread	X axis spread. Takes priority over horiz-spread.	Double	horiz-spread
y-spread	Y axis spread. Takes priority over vert-spread.	Double	vert-spread
z-spread	Z axis spread. Takes priority over horiz-spread.	Double	horiz-spread
force	Whether to send the particle to players within an extended range and encourage their client to render it regardless of settings. Normally it's within 32 blocks, with this enabled it's within 512 blocks.	Boolean	False
yaw	Since 4.0 Beta 15.	Angle	~0
pitch	Since 4.0 Beta 15.	Angle	~0

Dumb formats:

Some particles have exceptions to how the above values are used in order to configure their custom data:

entity_effect & ambient_entity_effect:

Coloring these particles requires:

• count: 0 - It'll then only spawn one particle. If you need to spawn more, you'll have to make the effect play multiple times, probably by using a Dummy Buff spell, and having the effect on the buff position, controlling the duration of the particles with the buff's duration, and the interval with the buff position's effect-interval: <ticks>.
• speed - Used to act like values instead of RGBE, where speed acts like an exponent that makes colors brighter or dimmer. The default for this is 128.
• x/y/z-offset will be used to control the color as (red, green, and blue) colors respectively. Values must be up to 1.0. This means that the value should be color/255.

Example below. Note that since 4.0 Beta 13, you don't have to calculate the color as the equation will be understood and calculated by MS. You can find a color picker here - set the red, green, and blue values to the RGB color values.

particle-name: entity_effect
count: 0
speed: 1
x-spread: red / 255
y-spread: green / 255
z-spread: blue / 255

note:

Coloring these particles requires:

• count: 0 - It'll then only spawn one particle. See above for a way to spawn more.
• speed: 1 - Used as a multiplier for colors.
• x-spread will be used to control the color. Must be up to 1.0. There are 24 notes and their colors, so the color value should be note/24.
• y-spread: 0
• z-spread: 0

Example below. Note that since 4.0 Beta 13, you don't have to calculate the color as the equation will be understood and calculated by MS.

particle-name: note
count: 0
speed: 1
x-spread: note / 24
y-spread: 0
z-spread: 0

Directional particles:

Some particles have motion. You apply it by having:

• count: 0 - It'll only spawn one particle.
• speed: 1 - Acts like a multiplier for the motion.
• x/y/z-spread - Moton vector
