Particles

Particles are a graphical effect in Minecraft. 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. Each particle texture is 8×8 pixels.

You can reduce the amount of particles visible in the Video Settings menu. These options range from "All" to "Minimal". "All" renders all particles, "Decreased" renders half the amount of particles, and "Minimal" only renders block breaking particles, explosion particles, and firework particles.

Particles can be spawned with the command.

The types of particles and their names in the game's code are displayed below.

Particle names in italic will always be shown, even if the “Minimal" particle setting is used.
