Particles

Particles are a graphical effect in Minecraft.

Behavior
Particles always seem to face the player and will usually disappear after a short period of time. Particles collide with solid blocks and are slowed by cobwebs, but are unaffected by other entities.

Types of particles
The types of particles and their names in the game's code are displayed below. Particle names in italic will always be shown.
